    Anyone knows a wheel repair shop on the east coast. I have two wheels with slight wobble.

    I've been trying to reach Frame Straight since Dec, as has another person and it's been radio silence. If anyone does hear from them let me know. Meanwhile... I'm back to looking for a set of Buell XBRR wheels...

    Interested in where you're at and the results. I have a set of 2008 Aprilia Tuono wheels with minors dents in lips I would like to have repaired. They're standard rims and not the good ones but they're perfect other than the little dents.

    I'm sure shipping in the US to the West wouldn't be to harsh on price.
    Nothing compared to here (Canada) anyway.

    For posterity's sake, I've also used The Wheel Warehouse in Dayton, OH.

    Guy can be a bit of a pain to get in touch with but he did superb work for me. As always, though, be ready to shell out some $$$.

    Will was the best!!! Super nice guy! I remember I used to buy damaged wheels and send them all to him and no problems they would come back stragith as can be. He even did brake rotors.
