Tint job, rims and lower
Taryn R.

If you're in the market for updating your stock car or truck, look no further. When I called in Macario answered the phone, was extremely knowledgeable on all the questions I had, helped fill in the gaps where I was unsure of what my options were and made getting our Yukon exactly how we wanted it. Rewind to when I called. My request was powder coated koko kouture rims, on 24's with a drop. The drop was my biggest concern. As this is our weekend car I wanted a smooth ride. And the lower you go and the bigger the rims the more you feel. Macario suggested 24's with a 2/3 drop. 2 inches in the front and 3 in the back. So we booked our truck. He gave us the run down of cost and timelines. The rims had to be dusted matte bc they only came in glossy- so this took a couple days, then the lower and the tint. When we got it back it was prettier than imagined. It drives like a dream and is exactly what we had in mind when I called it in. We will be bringing all our vehicles here in the future!

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.

Fresh New Rims and Tires!!! 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

Ask the Community - California Wheels

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.

The car looks incredible, but I am just as impressed with the people who work there, and by the way they run their operation. My friend Jason recommended them, but I checked out several other shops in Fremont before making a decision. SS Customs stood out. I worked with both AJ and Tanya -- both were excellent. I also spent some time with the owner, Sharif Khan. The way he runs that business, trains his team no just in the craft, but in how to treat customers, -- you could write an HBS case study on this guy. And this is clearly a very self selective team -- everyone cares, everyone knows how to treat a customer. This is so rare today. If you want a team that takes pride in the details and delivers amazing work, take your car here. I highly recommend them. BTW - This is the first online review I have ever written for any business -- so that should tell you something about SS Customs.

High-level summary:…read more Customer service (patience, friendliness) - 5/5 Technical knowledge - 5/5 Transparency - 5/5 Review: Given my previous experience with torn bushings at 57,000 miles and consistent premature wear-and-tear on my tires - replaced every 20,000 miles or so, partially due to my lowered car with a staggered wheel arrangement and poor alignment - over the lifetime of my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, I wanted to take a preemptive approach at 125,000 miles in improving and preserving the functional performance by doing a suspension refresh. After doing extensive research on MPP suspension upgrades, I reached out to TDW Auto and sent a summary of my desired scope of work, my budget, and a request for feedback on whether I had the correct approach in addressing my concerns. From Will's first response, we had seamless back-and-forth conversations over E-mail and text to clarify the current setup of my car, highlight my major concerns, address these concerns with the proper MPP upgrades, and align on my budget, must-haves, and nice-to-haves. There was never once an upsell; only cautionary words of unnecessary upgrades for my use case, which is really just the daily work commute in a lowered setup for personal aesthetic purposes. My original request included MPP front upper control arms and rear traction arms with my Unplugged Performance lowering springs, along with swapping out the front lowering control arms and rear camber arms. However, Will explained that the FUCAs and traction arms served no improved performance for commuting, and that the existing springs were more of a budget-friendly fit that compromised on long-term performance due to its reliance on Tesla stock dampers. Instead, he recommended swapping out the springs for MPP coilovers, and replacing the toe arms in conjunction with the camber arms to improve upon long-term lowered car hardware wear-and-tear. I followed up with Will after our virtual exchanges to get his opinions in person. He took me out for a test ride with me in the passenger seat, immediately identifying that my dampers were squeaking noticeably and that hard cornering at highway speeds felt bumpier than it should. Additionally, he patiently answered all my technical questions over the hour I was there, and adjusted the quotation when I made the final decisions on the suspension refresh. Will was completely transparent about pricing: he categorized the costs by the "front" and "rear," clearly highlighting the number of hours required to replace the front control arms, coilovers, and rear camber and toe arms. Alignment was included in the coilover work as well as solid front lower control arm pressing. He was even able to slot me in his 2-3 weeks' booked schedule on short notice because I wanted to complete the suspension refresh before making a drive to Canada. I picked up my car today after leaving my car overnight, and am extremely satisfied with my decision and results. Special shoutout to Mike, who I believe is the other co-founder and technician who stayed late just to work on my car to meet my schedule!
