So sorry about this...

I'm meeting with Andre @ 861-3582, mobilewheelrepair.com. Is this the same guy that some of you have dealt with? I'm not sure how many of these guys are around town. Feedback welcome.

Thanks Stefan. Did you ever get that screwy wheel fixed?

Re: Oh Sh*t, Another Wheel Repair Thread!!!

sadly, no. Andre spent a lot of time on it, but its bent really goofy. i think if i put a new tire on it, it might be ok, as the tire is damaged and causing some of the wobble. He said he got it very close, to the point where one shouldn't feel it, and it isnt that bad. I think i will take it to CMS come winter and see if they can ballance it with a new tire on. I just think it will be hard to find a tire guy that won't just say "it's no good, better buy new wheels" without trying to ballance it. I'll have to talk to CMS bob and see what can be done.

Sounds like you're almost there. Definately worth trying to balance it out with new rubber on it. Those wheels look good on your car; it'd be a shame to have to replace them.

Hopefully Andre can work some wonders on my rim. I have my doubts though...it's pretty f'd up. I'll post some before and after pics for anyone who's interested.

I need some curbage fixed, is this Andre guy going to be cheaper/better than AWR?

Re: Oh Sh*t, Another Wheel Repair Thread!!!

price was a little cheaper i think, but way faster (like 2 days instead of 3-4 weeks), and from what i have seen, good.. can't say better or worse, as I have nothing to compare to.

someone here had their wheels refinished by andre right before the sylvan lake cruise. cant think who...

What kind of price range are you looking at? I've just picked up some older bbs's that need some help, rash on all of them. They're straight or true or whatever, Just looking like they have herpes. lol.
