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!

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.

Amazing Rim Repair Service in Dublin!…read more I'm so happy with how my wheel turned out! Mark came to Dublin on a Saturday to fix the curb rash on my Honda pilot black edition 2025 rim, and the whole process took less than 45 minutes. He quoted me $169, and he did an amazing job- he worked fast. The finished result honestly looks incredible -- you would never know I had scraped my rim against a curb! Mark was great to work with, very knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in his work. The convenience, quality, and customer service were all excellent. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in Dublin / Pleasanton / Livermore area who needs curb rash or wheel repair!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Colormetics! I reached out after getting…read morecurb rash on my new car, and from the very beginning, the communication was excellent. They were responsive, professional, incredibly kind, and were even able to get me in the same day. I drove out from the French Camp/Stockton area to Livermore, and it was absolutely worth the drive. The repair came out AMAZING -- you would never know the wheel had been damaged. The price was also very fair, especially compared to other quotes I received. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Excellent workmanship, great communication, fair pricing, and genuinely great customer service. I would absolutely recommend Colormetics and wouldn't hesitate to come back if I ever need their services again. Hopefully I won't need another curb rash repair anytime soon! But if I do, I know exactly who to call! Checkout the before & after photos for yourself.

I did a lot of searching, getting quotes and product research before deciding on SVC to do the full…read morebody PPF and ceramic on my new 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. There are a lot of shops out there that can slap on a precut or pattern cut PPF for a good price and call it a day. But SVC is not that kind of shop. My full body PPF was custom cut with full edge wrapping. The ceramic coating on the wheels was meticulous with each wheel unmounted, detailed, and treated. And the entire 3 row SUV got a proper paint correction before anything else happened. I know this because I didn't mention a paint blemish on the hood when I got the bid from SVC, it was a big bird dropping stain square in the middle. But when I got the car back the finish was perfect. This was a blemish Hyundai of Fremont sent to their detail crew to clear up when the car was brand new, and they couldn't completely fix it! SCV work is top shelf. Eli even texted me a vid of his crew working on the individual wheels dismounted from the car. This is a boutique shop that does first rate work for businesses and high-end car owners, and they do it at a very competitive price. The shop is meticulous and, looking at the quality of the motor vehicles getting serviced there, I had no problems leaving my brand new $60k SUV for the work I wanted. Also, Eli does not nickel and dime you. He treats you with respect, and everything about the service I had at SVC showed a genuine concern for customer satisfaction. Let's face it, a full PPF and ceramic coating of a full-size SUV including the wheels (not just the wheel faces) is a big investment. An investment that demands quality work and professionalism throughout the process. Eli and the crew at SVC delivers.

Their work is methodically detailed. They worked on a bunch of my cars, from custom running boards,…read morecustomer electronics install, fabrication, tints and wrap -- all have been a great experience.
