Hi guys..
Well, closer look at my front/driver HRE I found that there are little scratches all around the edge of the polished lip because I drove to much on the deflated tire :(
I've seen a couple posts on places that re-finish rims, but is there any place that can fix it and also mount/dismount/balance when its put back on the tire? I don't think Butler can do polished rim fixing....

Thanks!

I'm sure wheelwright or wheel wizard can do it.

Sucks that you can't really feel a 40/35 series tire when it deflates. I should know....I've lost 2 tires at 80+ on 285. Didn't know it until I slowed to 40mph or so.

*edit-I have that system btw, funny that I haven't had a flat in the 8 months I've had it.

Wheelwright has tire mounting and balancing equipment; I've seen it.

Wheel Wizard's Web site quotes prices for tire mounting and dismounting, so I assume they can do it too.

damn man that sucks :( and we have to meet up to give you your moolah, maybe that'll help with the wheel (although if its just scratches on the lip's polish that will be easy to fix)
