Re: Wheel Refinishing

Tim,

That is odd.  Sorry to hear of your experience.  I have known a lot of
people who had wheels refinished/restored or fixed by Rennsport as I used to
live in the Atlanta area and they were all very happy with the work they
did.  Your experience seems like it may have been a fluke.

I have experience with Rennsport as they repaired two of my Fuchs rims which
I managed to bend over the years and they did a great job.

Later,
Dan
