He worked on my pirellis a few months back, highly recommended. It took around an hour. Mine was $150, great thing is he comes to you!!

BUT i have to say, i have heard one bad review and it was on detroits, but they did a good job on yours.

I haven't heard the bad review, so I don't know the situation, but sometimes you can do a "great job" and still receive a "bad review" simply because it does not meet the customers "preconceived ideas" (i.e. expectations). ktrianta went to another highly recommended wheel shop first, who immediately declined to work on the Detroits. John The Wheel Man did agree to work on them, and whilst it wasn't "as good as new", ktrianta is very happy. Someone else who hadn't already been rejected elsewhere may expect the result to be "as good as new", and therefore not be happy with the exact same result...

ya, I agree with coreying...I wasn't expecting them to be perfect after he repaired them, so my expectations were set, and hence I wasn't disappointed. The damage was pretty deep. Even John looked at them and said it will be hard to make them perfect. It's by no means perfect, but any random person who looks at them will not notice where it was damaged. Even me, who suffers from severe paranoia when it comes to this car . Cost $180, literally took him 20 minutes, which is ALOT better than:

1. Magman who refused to even take a look at it, and who, if he had decided to fix it, would have probably kept it for a week, and
2. The $700 VW wanted for a new rim. coreying, that placed you mentioned to me, ECS Tuning....all of a sudden one day their shipping costs went from $86 US to $186 US, so it was no longer worth it

Options are really limited when it comes to fixing Detroits, so either stay out of the gutter, or do what you can to fix them up!!

Yeah - it really makes you appreciate wheels which are simply silver painted alloys... SOOOO much easier to fix
