    Rim straightening

    I am going to be heading out to Swansea to straighten possibly 2 rims that I bent Friday night hitting some debris on the highway at speed.. bike actually went airborne lol Anyhow.. Was looking to see if anyone else needed to have any rims straightened to possibly get a better price per unit or per "rim job" if you prefer. Anyone?

    The guy does really good work and I think the last time my friend had a rim straightened it was about $100.

    Let me know, I will probably be going out Saturday, leaving from the Lowell, MA area and going up through Merrimack to 101 and out.

    If you're in Lowell, why not go to these guys in Tewksbury?

    MC Wheel straightened my OZ wheel and did an awesome job. Was $175 including tire mounting and return shipping. I believe he has moved down South, but still accepting work.
