    New intro and RI/Southern MA Wheel repair

    Hi everyone. Long time member, and finally brought this home:



    Pic is from when I picked her up. Pulled it out of a barn after 5 years, changed some fluids, and drove her home 2 hours from CT to RI! Ran like a champ.

    Picked up a new set of wheels this weekend. Found a set offset staggered ACT mesh wheels on Craigslist believe it or not. 16x8.5 and 16x9.5. One of th wheels had a higher speed run in with a curb and I'm looking for shop suggestions.



    And the bad one:


    It's going to need some welding. Any wheel repair shop recommendations?

    Hoping to get involved with the local crowd. Car needs some real work like floor pan rust repair etc before I can really take it out, but its legal and on the road now.

    Thanks for any suggestions

      Nice, where in RI are you? There's a shop over by Worcester that could do it, but the name is escaping me at the moment. It starts with an L.

          RimPro in Tewksbury is showing up as a good place. It's a hike from here but maybe worth it.

          Looked for a place near Worcester, couldn't come up wit anything.

            Welcome!
            RimPro is a great local resource, and should be able to do all 4 wheels for a very reasonable price.

            Best,
            Chris

              Local boy, nice - We are looking to set up a regular meet-up in boston/cambridge like sunday nights or similar.

              As for the wheels (which are gorgeous btw) What about rimpro in tewksbury?

                Should have clarified, Scituate in RI, not MA, but Boston is only 45 minutes or so. Thanks on the wheels, looks like I'll be taking a ride up to Tewksbury, about 2 hours from here.
