would bring you the 'fresh' rim and truck your rim back to be
refinished and added to their warehouse for the next hot swap
customer.

something like 950 pictures of all the various rims that they had in
stock. Frankly I was kind of blown away by just how organized and
stocked they were. I would have loved to have kept a copy of their
catalog - just for the pictures of just about every rim imaginable.
Quite a specific niche that they have specialized in.

them on that visit with a fresh set from their warehouse. I just
trotted the rims over to the local tire shop, had the rubber
installed and balanced, and than trotted back to my house to put the
whole thing back on to the car. So it was pretty convenient in
that particular case as the car had only about a 1 day down time
where I could not use it.

their name. I will delve deeper into this. Possibly they do not
advertise their service publicly, as they are a 'jobber' and in
theory are selling their services through bodyshops etc. But I
believe I can track them down again.
