Thanks for helping me avoid breaking things up.
Hey Daniel,
where is the shop that quoted $300 for parts and labor? I might have the same problem. Dealer quoted 3X more. lol

Thanks!

Hey Michael,

I don't know the name of the shop, but it's on South and Pioneer street; across the street from Pepboys' (south street). Order the gasket and I will do it for you for the price ($130???) of refinishing one of the VIP rims you sold me. lol
