i think it's the one in Chelmsford? I used them, but he delivered rims to Nashua for me, seemed like a nice guy and I even negotiated the price.

no they are in tewksbury. i called and talked to this woman there and told her i was concerned with them screwing up the clear...she said sometimes they do if they have to mess with the face of the wheel and it can cause hazing. but if its not on on the front, they shouldnt have to. also...you cannot just jack the car in the lot and bring the wheel in...they dont allow it...but they do have a place (Schlott tire shop) down the road that will throw it on a lift and bring your wheel to rimpro for $5 and rimpro says they can do it in about an hour while you wait.
