Cory at Sound Wheel Works
(425) 449-8110
14320 NE 21st, Suite #10 in Bellevue

He's been fixing damaged wheels since he was a teenager working for his uncle. He is an artist at fixing damaged wheels. Feel free to let him know I recommended him, since he takes very especial care of me and anyone I refer to him.

^^^I agree on Seattle Wheel in Kent. It's just down the hill from my house. Depending on your timing and how long they'd take, I could potentially pick you up and drop you off to pick up your ride once it's done if it worked with my schedule since it's 10 minutes from my house.

How long does it typically take to get rims fixed? Curious

I've got freeway vibration with my GS. Guessing it's the rims. Looks like Seattle Wheels in Kent is closed. The Bellevue place is still open, but would be nice to find something closer. Any other recommendations for south end?

Thanks Ken. I looked for Seattle Wheel also and couldn't find it, nice to know we have an option here in Tacoma. .

I had used Dependable Wheel Repair, in Renton, for several wheels over the years but I think they changed ownership and just don't seem to have the good customer service like they used to. All my wheels came out ok but most were curb scars on Lexus and Ford F150 wheels. Couple Z06 wheels were bent and fixed.

Great, so the guy at Metal Magic is the Seattle Wheel guy. I talked to him when he re-powder coated my Vette wheels and he told me the story of why he shut down Seattle Wheel; partly due to rising rent costs.

I ended up going to Sound Wheel and Cory did the work. All four wheels were bent!
