[maddawg73]

wheel wizard suxs. they refused to fix one of my volk sf challenge wheel that had a tiny bent . did some research and found a small shop in marrietta called " wheelwright" that fixed it. the guy told me that alot of his work was fixing wheels that wheel wizard fucked up or refused to do. he fixed my wheel for $100. wheel wizard's quote was $150- $200.

I dunno, man. I think that I went to wheel wright and they wanted to take my 3-piece apart (that's a big no no as you can kill the seal). Wheel Wizard was able to fix my wheels w/o doing it. They looked better than new. I have used them twice and have NO complaints. Sure, they were more expensive, but when your wheels run $1750 each, it's worth the extra $50 or so.

It's up to you who you use. My advice is to get a quote from each.

if they could fix a wheel worth $ 1750 each, dunno why they refused to fix a volk that only costed $ 630 each. that does not make sense.

It depends on what was wrong, the finish, the metal type, etc. You should have asked them rather than blast them.

i did asked them. the guy said my volk had some material called micro someting , i forgot the exact name,in my wheel and that the finish would be tarnished if they fixed the wheel. i even was willing to sign a waiver that i would still pay them if my wheel was tarnished. they still refused. all i know is that wheelwright fixed it for a cheaper price with nothing happening to the finish of the wheel.

Yes, they are VERY picky about wheels that have anodized or some other type of special finish. Even signing a waiver wouldn't legally absolve them from a suit if it didn't come out well (contracts can be very complicated). I don't believe that they thought it was worth the risk, honestly.
