    wheel straightening

    Thumbs up to MC Wheel in Swanzey, NH for taking a bend out of a front that I bought on ebay. Noah knows his stuff and is a nice guy, to boot.

    Mods, move this would you? I forgot about the vendor section.

    I paid $100.00, that was their July promo, which would end, um, today.

    Their regular pricing is posted on their site, but I remember it being around $130.00 or so.

    Re: wheel straightening

    I had them fix a front wheel for me a few years ago... I think it was $120 which included shipping back to me.

    Re: wheel straightening

    I used them, they did a real good job. They give you a discount if you pay cash, too. I drove up on a Saturday (45 mins. from Amherst), drop the wheel off, went and hung out in Keene for a couple hours and then picked up the rim. Those guys are cool, ones a Yankee fan, though.

    Couple race tracks in Swanzy, so you could probably schedule it around that.
