    Have 2 front wheels pretty scuffed up from curb rash. In Towson. I know and have used other places just seeing if someone wants to make some money and maybe save me some. Prefer you do it at my house. Let me know if you can do it. Bud

    I remember the place called the Olde Wheel Shop over in the Baltimore area. We used to race motorcycles on magnesium alloy wheels in the 70's. Those guys could actually repair them using underwater welding techniques. Only because cycle wheels don't have the stress of car wheels. I plan to let Transwheel restore my set of 5 SSR Integral A2 17x9" wheels before the end of the year. They were the first commercial semi-solid forged wheels (same or similar to flow-formed). Nothing really wrong with them except they spent 3 years on my road racing Mustang Cobra in the SCCA. Less than 2/3 the weight of a Cobra R wheel and stronger.
