well i made the mistake of going to hubcap heaven on rodi rd… the dude couldnt even take a 195/45 tire off a 15x7" wheel. instead, he just broke the bead, and scratched/gouged the shit outta one of my wheels. so now my wheels even more fucked (it has some nice scratches in it and 2 HUGE gouges) than before. the lip needs filled AGAIN, and ground down and sanded and buffed and polished AGAIN. he claims he can repair what he screwed up no problem and for free as i got into a fight with him about it. he gave me the wheels back, both deflated and the one needed the bead set again (i had to do it myself). he didnt bother telling me he FUCKED up the one wheel when he gave em back to, me hoping i wouldnt notice it. well i did. luckily i caught it when i was loading them in the trunk, so i was able to take them back in and bitch. now i have to dismount the tires myself or get someone to do it (prolly just gonna slice the tires off with a sawzall and grind the bead til it snaps since they are corded). then i gotta take them back again so he can atleast fix what he fucked up, and maybe straighten them. but i dont even trust him fixing what he fucked up, but my buddy works for cochran and says he does all the wheels for them. so well see… unfortunately, im gonna take them back and make him fix the lip that he fucked up. whats the worst that could happen… he could completely DESTROY my rare wheels that i cant find replacements for :mad::mad: i guess the moral of the story is, dont trust hubcap heaven on rodi to do quality work. if you want you wheels scratched, take em there. ---

Yeah I read this thread and initially was a little leary about a place called Hubcap Heaven fixing wheels like that. I’d probably check out the place in Monessen. I think Jeff and Mark are reputable vouchers for that. ---
