Default I have a couple of bent stock rims (thanks Manchester) and New England Wheel Repair ...

seems to be closed. Can anyone recommend another place in or near CT to get my rims straightened? I also thought of just getting a set of Flik Justice rims but they are out of stock @ Edgeracing. Has anyone found them to be available elsewhere? I searched online and did not find any other places.

TIA,

John

I think Edge is the only place that sells Flik rims but I could be wrong

Default You are correct - Edge seems to be the sole US distributor of Flik wheels

or so they tell me...

I bent three alloy rims this winter here in my home state of Maine. One actually caused me to have a flat tire driving south on 95. Found a place in Bangor (where I work) that straighted them for $50 each. Did a great job. I know it is a drive from Ct, but when I called a place in Mass a few years ago, they wanted like $250 per rim. Feel free to PM me if interested.

Thanks for the info. I since got in touch with the place here in CT and they are straightening 3 of them with multiple flat spots for $275. I had a wheel straightened at New England Wheel Repair before and they do great work.

Thanks again,

John

They were $99 on sale at some point. Cheaper to throw them away than to fix them...

Thanks,

John
