Can anyone recommend a local wheel repair shop? I have some 3 piece wheels that need fixing, that is if they aren't too damaged. The place I purchased them is in NC, and they said they could look at them. However, I was hoping not to have to ship them.

Thanks,
Lane

Wheel Worx. Talk to Bruce. 410 969-7282. Millersville, MD. He has done 9 of my wheels. All good.

Talked to Wheel Worx in Millersville and he said that they don't really do 3 piece wheels. He recommended some other places, but they were all over the country. I also got in touch with Ye Olde Wheel Shop and they said they'd take a look. I talked to the manufacturer's distribution center in Charlotte, NC and he said that if the center pieces were fine, they could replace the lip pieces. However, the price they gave me was a little more than I had expected. They estimated $400 for replacing one lip and $650 for both lips. Does anyone have experience with having work done to 3 piece wheels? I posted pics of some of the damaged wheels in another thread if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Wheel Doctor in Gaithersburg is going to refinish my 2-piece Speedline wheels next week. I've heard only good things about their work. I'm hoping for a result that prompts me to recommend them to others.

Timely for me too. I want to get some BBS RS wheels fixed.
I took tow of them apart to make one and it's going to work just fine.
I don't think there is really any secret on my wheels other than most people tell you that it can't be done when it can!

I'll wait on the report on Wheel Doc and maybe I can get a price on the other's. Ones a lot worse shape than yours and I've been told by others that it can be fixed.
Good luck!
