Wheel Repair

I just had a 22" Champion wheel repaired by Riteway in Walnut Creek and wanted to pass on the experience. I hit a pothole on a 2 lane back road and bent the front rim, didnt hurt the tire.

They did a great job and I couldnt be happier, $175 to fix with balancing.

awesome, can you share how long the repair took and how the color match to the rest of rims? did they heat up the rim to fix the bend?

i have a couple wheels that may need some work too.

Rite Way is superb as their name indicates.

There is no way they would heat a wheel. That would alter its temper.

The rim was restored on a press. My guess it's a shop in San Leandro who did the same for me.

Then Riteway does the finishing, polishing, and balancing

They are magicians with wheels.

Gcalo pretty much answered your question Djantlive, as for the time it took, same day service if you schedule with them.

Rite Way gets a 100 point score from me.

Sharon is also a very pleasant person with whom to deal.
