There is a guy in Kirkland who repairs rims. Did a pretty good job on the front rim for me. I don't have his number but if you call Phil Smart's service department they will know.

Thanks for the tip on the guy in Kirkland. I got a nail in my tire (car only has 3,000 miles!! ) and took it to Les Schwaab in Renton and told the guy to be careful with my wheels.

I am meticulious with this car and know of every smudge on my clear bra etc. My wheels had no marks on them...just brake dust.

Got home and washed my car and found a nick on my wheel ARRR!!! It is not huge...maybe half an inch. My wife couldn't even see what I was talking about - but it seriously had me pissed. At the end of the day they didn't charge me for the tire repair and so going back there and making an issue won't do any good.

When i need new tires...where will I go to get them installed. I can't go back to these monkeys and have them F up my wheels.
