Scratched perimeter 3

BUTCHERS. I brought my 2016 Porsche Boxster here to mount new tires on the stock Porsche wheels. The wheels are a black satin finish (see photos). Thus, it was important to me that the tire installer be aware and careful to not scratch or ding the finish. Also, it's important to note that, prior to this tire change, the car had been running on the factory-installed tires (low milage car). So, no other company had done any wheel or tire work on the car. Since this company touts the type and quantity of higher end vehicles they work on, I believed they gave their customer's cars the "white glove" treatment. Not the case. The outside of the drivers side rear wheel was returned scratched along the entire perimeter. Clearly, it was laid down on a rough surface on the outside-facing edge, not the inside-facing edge. As things seem to go, it was raining when I picked up the car, so I did not see the damage until the wheel dried. I noticed scratches in the drivers' side front wheel after it dried, as well. However, before leaving, I did notice the lug nuts were pretty beat up. The installer said that was "impossible to avoid". Really? That's a thoughtless and careless answer when the action of removing and reinstalling lug nuts on higher end cars is at least 50% of his daily job. It shows no intent to accept any responsibility to do a quality job. Bottom line: The wheels went into this company in factory-perfect condition; they were returned looking terrible. Takeaways: 1) You will not get "white glove" treatment of your car from this company, despite the all the pretty photos on their website. 2) If the condition and appearance of your car is important to you, look elsewhere for wheel and tire work.

I've been a fan and regular customer here since we had California Wheels install a set of Vossen rims and Continental tires on our vehicle in 2015. We were extremely happy with the original purchase and were impressed by Macario and Rigo's knowledge and expertise in the field. They are professionals with years of experience that you just can't find elsewhere. Since then, it's the only place I would take any of my cars for any type of wheel or tire work. I have been back regularly since then for tire repairs and replacements. I appreciate the fact that the work is always done on time, on budget and with great attention to detail. I live over an hour away but the piece of mind to know the job is done right the first time with the care and precision I expect always makes the trip 100% worth it. This is one of the few businesses in the auto industry that I can say I trust implicitly and could recommend without reservation.

I emailed Macario, he replied with a quote and a few days later the job was done. I got my tesla 3 19" wheels powdered paint black, they gave me 2 options satin or matte

Fresh New Rims and Tires!!! Thanks California Wheels

Top Notch Service for my BMW 328i! I will be back for my Lexus IS200T soon! Thanks California Wheels

Big thanks to Macario and California Wheels for their patience and expertise. I ordered new wheels which needed redrilling to fit the car. I spoke with Macario over the phone who walked me through the process of redrilling the wheels for my exact needs as well as getting all new tires installed. Their price for the tires was as low as I've seen in the bay area and their experience dealing with very custom projects gave me confidence to drive the 40+ miles down to their shop. Once I was there they took care of everything and had the car ready for me once all work was done. Really recommend these guys if you need any redrilling work or plan to use adapters. They do not shy away from less common projects as was the case with my build. Thank you again!

Tommy and his guys are hands down the best customization guys around. They installed my new headlight housing and led tail lights and interior lights in 2.5hrs. Great customer service and quality work! I'll be going back for wheels and a wrap! Update: the wrap came out amazing! Great work fellas. I can't thank you enough. Top notch work for this old 97 Tahoe. You guys have single handily resurrected her from the dead!

Can't believe I haven't posted a review for Cali Wheels yet! Anyhow, my husband and I have been customers of Cali Wheels for over 10 years. Tommy (owner) has always been a pleasure to work with. Macario has always gone above and beyond our expectations. Very professional and knowledgeable with their products. We love our cars, so we want the best service & products on our rides. That's why this is the only place we come back for our car, after car, after car, after car...literally! Whether it's for rims or tires, this is our go to place. Quality is definitely a factor when it comes to their products and services. The guys in the service department work hard, especially detail, and make sure customers are satisfied. If you're in need for a new pair of boots, don't hesitate! This is the best place to fulfill your all your wheel needs. *pictures posted of our rides and our beautiful wheels all purchased and serviced at Cali Wheels

I'm a very picky person and so it takes a lot of patience to work with me.. Macario and his team has been with me say my first email and has walked me through the whole journey of picking a set of wheels for my Range Rover Sport. I typically don't give 5 star reviews but the deal we got plus the great end to end customer service, if they had 6 stars I would give 6. That's how much I trust them with my car. I dropped off my car and they got it done well within the deadline. Thanks Macario and team for your great service especially during these crazy times.

Had a huge problem with a C63 AMG with wheels rubbing. I took it Cali Wheel and they let me know the issue was wrong off set on the rims. They hooked me up with a proper set of vorsteiners. They didn't come in color I wanted so they got the rims power coated then and then installed the new set in 1 hour. Thank you Macario for making the process easy and I think the car looks great. Over the year California Wheel has helped me with all my cars you have customer for life! Thanks again Macario

This is the only shop I trust my cars with when it comes to wheels. I've brought all of my cars here along with my daughters vehicles for years. The service is top notch! Tommy and Macario have always taken great care of me. I love this place!

Awesome rims from Black Rhino

Hello its been years since i ever bought anything from California wheels I actually bought my first hydraulic setup from your shop back in the day..my question is do you even still sell LOWRIDER spoke wheels if so what would the price range start at?

Hi Eric, yes we still sell wire wheels, in fact they’re making a bit of a comeback. Give us a call or come by and we can help answer any of your questions. A standard step of chrome 13” or 14” start around 1200 for wheels only.

How much do u charge for powder coating a set of wheels?

Depends on the wheels type, style, what condition they are in, if they need repairs etc. usually ranges 800-1000

How much per tire do you charge to fix curb marks? Is it something I can go in and wait for instead of dropping off car?

Hi Jessica, We need to see you wheels and the damage to give you an accurate quote, but it will start off at $150 minimum. The car would need to be dropped off, its not something you can wait for. The best ting to do would be drive by so we can… 

Do they finance or can I make payments on some wheels?

Hi Miguel, we take all credit cards or do layaway, but we don't do financing.

On…read moreThursday 10/15/26 after 8pm, I utilized Yelp to find a shop that could perform an alignment on my 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport on very short notice--I needed it done by the next day. After reaching out to 10 local shops (many of which don't even service Mercedes), 8 responded within 10 hours with quotes ranging widely from $100 to $229. Based on a close friend's strong recommendation--who has trusted this shop with his vehicles for over 20 years--I chose Morin for their competitive $120 quote. Via Yelp!, I messaged Richard, the owner, and wanted an appointment for Friday 10/16/26 at 10:30 AM. Richard said I can come anytime. So, I did. I ended up arriving an hour early, just before 9:30 AM, but was greeted immediately. The staff already knew who I was and recognized my car. Noticing my brand-new tires, the technician sharp-sightedly asked why I needed the alignment and what other work had been done. I explained that I'd just had a mechanic replace lower control arm and tie rods, front brakes, front rotors, change all four tires, rear shock absorbers, rear suspension coil springs...and that the tire shop down the road told me to get an alignment right away. My total wait time was only about an hour. Midway through the job, Richard came out to recommend a front camber adjustment. He quoted me $180 total--just $60 more than the original alignment-only price. Given the complexity of a Mercedes suspension, it was incredibly fair and well worth the money. The results are absolutely amazing. The car drives perfectly straight, glides effortlessly, and honestly feels like a brand-new car again! The ride quality is superb. Morin has officially earned a regular customer. I've already referred them to my neighbor, who will be visiting soon. Thank you, Richard and the Morin team, for your integrity, fair prices, efficiency, and fantastic communication. Awesome job well done!

It was simple…read morestraightforward with a friendly greeting, and the price for my service needed - $35 for the repair/patch. The service I came for today was due to receiving a an indication light that one of my tires had low pressure. Upon arriving to the shop, I found a narrow driveway with fairly limited parking, but because it was around 8:30 in the morning on a Tuesday there were a few spots available however I could see this parking lot getting really busy impact with no space on a busy day or a weekend. And when I entered the doorway, the front desk was empty because there was services being done on another car already, but I was shortly thereafter greeted by Frank who knew what I needed from our quick interaction on Yelp. He took my information into the computer and stated he would get me into the shop as soon as this car currently being worked on was done. Within about 10 or 15 minutes, my car was in and being checked out for the slow leak in my tire. Turns out... possibly no leak! Refilled the tires to recommended PSIs and sent me on my way, told me to drive it for about 5 to 10 miles and if the psi stays the same, no leak! I appreciate all the help

As a female who doesn't know a lick about cars and maintenances, I solely rely on people to be professional and honest. The gentleman I typically go to for oil changes and smaller jobs had informed me that my front brakes were sh*t and needed to be changed ASAP. The rears were okay but he recommends me get them done as well since I was already doing the front. Luckily for me, I made the decision to see Frank. I let him know what kind of work I needed and although the rates were higher than what I was quoted from the other shop, Frank has forever been an honest and upfront- making Great Mall Tire Outlet a must. Come here prepared for a wait, y'all. The work is truly that great, leading to lots of regular patrons coming to see Frank and the guys. Shout out to Raul?? [I think that was his name] who was working on my car. Once the car was pulled on the rack, Frank's suspicions were right in me NOT needing to have break pads or my rotors change. NONE- not the front or the back!! So much for my fronts needing to be changed ASAP, right?? While I did waste an unnecessary amount of time having to make the trip out here, it was totally worth it thanks to the peace of mind Frank has given me. Come one, come all!! Great Mall Tire Outlet is heaven sent to people like me who could have easily been swindled!!! 5/5 stars but I would love to give them so much more!!!!!

Unfortunately, my car and I seem to be attracting a lot of nails lately. This is the 2nd nail I've…read morehad in my tire the past 4 weeks and the first time I was looking for a gas station with an air pump to fill my tire until I can get to a tire shop but saw there was a tire shop nearby so I popped in and they were able to take me right away, thought I needed a new tire but they just patched up the tire for 25$ and sent me on the way 20 minutes later. Today I was pumping gas and saw a giant nail sticking out of my tire and even though there were other tire repair shops closer I decided to drive the 20 minute to pop over to this shop. When I pulled in there was a line but I still parked and someone stopped me before I even got to the door and asked what I needed help with. I told them the issue then took the keys and let me know it is a 10 minute wait before my turn. I went inside and waited and they even offered me a free cold beverage for the hot day. Nice clean and AC waiting are as well. Today I had to replace the entire tire but it was fairly price and still in and out less than 30 min prob. Super fast and friendly and good work, they have my loyalty (but hopefully I won't need to use their service too often and avoid all the nails in the road).

Great experience today at Calderon's! I had a flat tire and before going to Calderon's, I drove to…read moreanother auto shop who tried getting me to get all my tires replaced, fixing this and fixing that, etc. and I wasn't about to get $1000+ in repairs with how old my car is and the mileage on it, especially if all I wanted was as to repair/replace a flat. Also, who knows how long it would take to get all those suggested repairs done? I'd heard good things about Calderon's from a coworker and decided to check it out. The whole process to replace my tire took less than 30 minutes and only $70 from my pocket. Great service and a great price, so definitely a place I'd recommend for folks needing help with their tires!
