Default 3 piece wheel repair help on east coast

Curbed my Kinesis wheel and was wondering where on the east coast can i get it repaired.Kinesis wants $340 + s&H ( $110 ) not to mention the 4-6 weeks down time.I am pretty sure there are places that are equally good yet not as expensive and as slow as the Kinesis,any ideas ? How about wheel collission out of Bath,PA or wheel wizard in Atlanta GA ?
Thanks and Merry Xmas to you all

I've used Wheel Wizard in Atlanta and they did a great job.

I had mine done in Tampa Fl for $90 and mine had dents all over the rim. Yes 3 piece wheel no warrenty if the rim cracks when repairing it. I think they even will sell just the rim and change over the center.
Not sure but this may be them it was two years ago. Hope this helps

I've heard good things about Ernies Alloys located in FL, but have never used them. Might be worth a call.

I had one painted wheel refinished by Transwheel place in IN about 6 months and the work was not satisfoactory at all and they won't even re do the wheel either.I am not surprised that they didn't give you any warrenty at all,that place sucks...

Yes, it was a three piece all aluminum wheel. I hit a culvert and dented the wheel in almost to the hub. The Wheel Wizard cut out the damaged area and repaired the wheel to like new condition...$100, but that was in 1990.


Merry Christmas.
