Understand getting them fixed is probably more than a new rim, but don't
believe the A1's are made anymore! Only one bent out of the four...

Yea, I wonder too :-)

The place in Elizabeth (not newark) is quite cheap. I gave the address

Good work. I have had them do about 8 wheels.  Sometimes entire sets 
that are just slightly imperfect.
