Dan the Wheel Doctor is the only guy to use. He will pick them up and deliver when completed.

Berk, don't go to Ye Olde Wheel Shop. They're the ones who messed up your wheels when I had them! I took the champions there to get a slight bend from a pothole taken out, and it looked like they tried to fix it with a hammer and a chisel.

Berk - you can send them to champion - when a shop screwed up the ones on my turbo they sent them there and they looked brand new when I got them back. I dont think it was cheap though.

Berk, you get any good feedback or warm and fuzzy from anyone yet? I''m considering painting my wheels black since I'm coinsidering the new Vorsteiner front and rear bumper set up with black spoiler and I think the black wheels on my white car would "set it off" just nicely.

Oh, I officially want mor power in my Turbo S. Launch Control is pretty sick, but want it "sicker" where I can scare the living **** out of my wife Hahahah

Hey Alex - I've decided to go with Champion Motorsports down in FLA to do the repair and repaint of the wheels. A little pricier, but they'll even paint the wheels to whatever color I want. Justin @ Champion (who's also on the board) is an awesome guy and I spoke with him on the phone yesterday and they will be sending me some photoshop shots of different paint schemes for the wheels. I'll keep you in the loop.

As for other shops in the area, I am not 100% sure. Sounds like Ye Olde Wheel Shop originally messed up the wheels I got from Dave (Maxwell) and I'm not familiar with Wheel Doctor. I'm still asking around though as to who can do it in the area. Wheel Doctor sounds to be a good one to start.

The Vorsteiner front and rear bumper will look SICK on your car Alex. If you paint the wheels black, I would go for a Piano Black Powder Coat with a red pin stripe to match the interior. That would be a great contrast.

NOW.....as for power.....HAHAHAHA....you are crazy man......your wife will tear off your arm by the shoulder in fear of looking for something to grab on to when you punch it for the first time with her in the car.....HAHAHAHA....make sure that insurance is up to date.....HAHAHAHA......who's gonna do the work? Protomotive again I hope!!!!!

I don't know yet...I don't think anyone's come out with any power mods yet except for ECU tuning. Never understood why some of these ECU tuning companies charge so much...cough cough techart, cough cough.
