I think is kind of pricy for $150/wheel and not taking the tires off. don't tell me that he just put an other coat of paint on top of 1.
panther and greens charge about the same price, but they take tires off.
also, powdercoating would cost less, there a place in mitchel island that do sandblast for like $30/wheel, and powdercoat is like $40/wheel, that come total of $75/wheel, cheaper then painting it, just to my cent.

those who run expensive rims, dont cheap out on the repair. Unless your rims is under $1500 crap, it really doesnt matter where you get it fixed.

your cent lol....you still have to get it repaired first
and blasting should be more expensive than the powdercoating itself. not sure where your getting your info from
standard repairs rates are 175
25 mount and balance
25 material fee
anything below 225 you got a good deal
i work with the wheel repair companies for insurance claims

Panther may be more expensive then the rest but there's a reason for that...they get everyone elses work, ie. Green's, Nubrite, etc. as well as regular customer inflow.

I'm now thinking about getting spacers to fill out the fender in the front. What size do you think I'll need to get it just inside the fender? 10mm? 12mm? Quote:

And all the trash talk was directed directly towards me from what I heard, why was that? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Mike just dropped off my refinished rims: 
To quote my wife: "Holy crap! Those look awesome!"
Considering how badly curbed it was... it looks brand new now. I can't say enough good stuff about Western Wheelcraft! Totally awesome service... comes to your house, picks up the rims, takes 'em away... they're back a couple of days later. Just a great, great guy!!

I think you misunderstood...we were cheering for the other team because they needed to score more than 20 points against u guys for us to advance to the 3rd place game...trust me there was no shit spoken about you.

Oh ok then I wasnt paying too much attention so I definitely misheard then, I was too into the game...It just sounded like every time I got the ball you guys got loud
And nobody told me about that point spread bullshit either, its weird how that works, i play a lot of ball and have never seen a tourney format like that...
Only after the game they told me that if we won that last game by more than 30, we would have advanced... If i knew that shit before the game i would have dropped a few more 3's, we only won by 22 so it wasnt enough...
How did you guys do, what place? Posted via RS Mobile | |

That semi-gloss black is a HUGE improvement, although you really can't complain with HRE's any way they look!! | |
