    I had my TR serviced at European Imports in Lock Haven Pa. My car had rim rash also. They sent the wheels out. I really don't know where. But when I got them back I was very happy. They look like new.

    The Wheel Collision Center in Bath, Pennsylvania has been recommended for its quality work. Here's the link to their website:

    Good luck!


    (Bath is near Allentown, PA, not far from the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension)

    I actually had one of my wheels redone by the guy at FOW. Seemed to come out ok and the price wasn't too bad. Not as low as my guy in FL, but it looks fine now. Luckily, wheels are pretty cheap and easy to clean up.

    There are 2 local companies that do a real good job and come to you. Where are you at? I get their #s for you. Both do high quality work.

    I used a mobile "rim doctor" out of Richmond, VA and the work was unspeakably bad - beware of the mobile wheel outfits.

    Thanks again guys. It is a small rash area but it is driving me CRAZY....guess that's what I get for taking the car to a Rita's water ice parking lot.....at least the banana water ice was good.

    Just took my friend Anthony's 348 wheel there for a rim rash and new tire change (Tire Rack tires) and balance on all 4, great job, very reasonable price. Been using Ye Old Wheel Shoppe since 1986 for many many wheel and tire jobs. Highly recommended.
