Where did you get your lip repaired in the Bay?

I didn't get it repaired in the Bay Area; but I know someone in Walnut Creek does that. Let me find out which shop and I'll let you know.

they must have said alot then.... but sometimes its worth it, i know Guy is good when it come to the outcomes of people doing the wrong thing, and then ruining the wheel. I'm curious to see how much did they say

To be fair to HRE, I'll say this: While it may have been a fair price for what they were gonna do, it's not what I could or wanted to pay. Keep in mind they included all new nuts and bolts, powder coat the spokes and polish the lip: Approx $1500, not including shipping (from the east coast to the west coast)
