I have never used this company, but I heard about them on another forum.

You could also ask Luke the tire god at TireRack as he knows a lot of wheel repair places around the country luke@TIRERACK.COM

Good Luck

Since you are there, might as well powdercoat the set of wheels.

fixed a bent rim on my bmw couple of years ago... was pretty happy with the results, looked brand new when it came back... cost was about $100/rim

I dont really want to say right now I dont want to distroy there reputation befor I allow them to fix it, it cost me 635 canadian they look good but the paint is not hard they had to weld a big chunk back in and the other 3 where a basic curb rash repair

Although i have been there a bunch of times allready

the thing that really piss's me off is that the one that i showed him i could scratch off with my finger nail was not repaired at all
you think he would have. I think that is just ignorante

they fixed the scratches but i dont think i would go back there after finding out how it was done i could do a better job in my garage for under 100 dollars here is a few pictures i need to pick up some new center caps next time i am at the dealer. Next time its powder coat, or bakeing the paint, or chrome
