Depending on how bad they are it can range between $75 and $150 a wheel.

A couple of my new e-bay wheels are a little tweaked on the inside, but its nothing that is really noticeable.

I will be watching this thread since I will eventually get them straightened once I have some extra money again.

Cup style wheels are fragile things.

this MAY be a dumb question but. Do you thing they can take the oxidation (its a chemical oxidation in the metal itself) off my old wheels and buff out a curb mark on some polished aluminum wheels. i cannot get them to shine anymore after getting bleech-white on them.

transwheel moved near lutz.. (warehouse is in the same place though) so your close to it, slow..

just head north on Florida and about a 1/3mile after where Florida and Nebraska merge you'll see a Blue sign with White lettering on your left thatsays transwheel..

give me a call if you are going to use them..
