sent my wheel out today to get un-bent..

[WASABI]

That wheel looks fantastic! I'm gonna have to remember that site for any future rim disasters.

Or, you can pick up a new set as a spare!

Wow, they came out great. I went with Rimguard Extreme for my repair, and they did quite well.

I always will caution people when using any company like this, make sure you get everything that you want done IN WRITING BEFORE PAYING. I had a bit of a fight to get what I was promised over the phone, and what I received the first time. Also, if you are attached to your valve stems/caps, do not send them in with the wheels. They "lost" my RAYS short stems. After badgering them about it, I received the stems in them mail weeks later, with no valve caps. They have yet to return the caps.

Have you been badgering them more about getting the caps back?

[Demon I Am]

4 emails and no response. I have a feeling whoever made them disappear (most likely one of the techs) in the shop, made the caps disappear as well.

Enough thread derailing, I want to see some new pics of these!

that is a super nice repair for sure. There is a guy here in the Bay area that has been doing stuff like this for years, Glenn's Wheels or something, he showed me the redrilled wheels he has done and he told me he would give me a good rate to have my 3-piece Panasports rebarreled to go W I D E, so later one I might have to look into that again.

So I may be interested in using this guy, but was this repairable because the wheel was a 2 piece? I have a similar bent RS-Watanabe but is the 1 piece cast aluminum wheel.

email them and see. that's what i did..
