Anyone used them for this service. Good or bad???

I have a buckled off side rear and front from a cheap set of the bay. It's only apparent when on the balancing machine so nothing like a whacking great dent in a wheel but still can be felt when at speed.

I've had wheels straightened before, I don't think it's rocket science. Not used Wicked Wheels though just some local indies. About £80 per wheel IIRC.

They are local so I'm going to pop down there on Monday as there Is no charge for them to inspect and see if they can be repaired

What do they charge, I can get them done for you at £30 each, that's not hit it with a hammer, that's properly set up on a state of the art machine.

I'm 2 miles from WW, 3 day turnaround.

That's the cost I pay, don't believe in making money from a fellow PH member.
