Any of the lower mainland guys know of a shop that can true up steel rims? I have a few rims that look good but don't run true.

John,

I used Stockton Wheel Service, Inc in CA. That was about 8 years ago. I do not know if they are now under the same management.

People have also mentioned another western USA company that has multiple locations and does good work at low prices.

I found it, Les Schwab Maybe someone will comment on this company?

I had my wheels repaired, straightened and painted by Greens Automotive in 2002.

They are under new management. I had them do some work for me a couple of years ago, but have since changed hands. Don't know anything about the new guys, but the old guys did a nice job.
