Not local, but I don't think there is anything right in this area.

I know there's a place here in NJ that does good work. I need to contact someone else to find out the name of the place though, I can't remember.

Wilmington, DE 19802

I could not find a lot of info on WheelWorks, all that i could find was bicycle shops?

I work down the street from Wheel Works, We have sent a few wheels to them and they seem to do good work. Had them repair a wheel on my truck a few months ago.

Nice find. Always cool to find speciality shops that are "local."

took a drive down Saturday morning and dropped the wheels off. Its a neat little shop and Tim, the owner, told me he used to do business up at the Flemington speedway back in the day, small world. He gave me the quick tour and showed me some of his work, and he does a nice job. Should have them back this week too

335/30/18 I could probably squeeze a 345 in, but its such an odd size its not worth it. Im just hoping i can keep the back seat with the mini-tubs, its getting real close

Looks like nice work! I've been debating about getting my 18 X 10s popped out an inch, and it looks like we have the man for the job!
