Wheel repair recommendations?

I've got pretty good curbage on all four or my stock 18's. Looking for recommendations for a good wheel repair shop or if anyone knows someone who's looking to sale oem 18's that are in good shape, let me know. Thanks

Try http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/Default.htm

I think they have a core exchange program so that you can get your wheels done quicker (since they have refinished wheels already in stock).

Also try http://fixrim.com/ if you just want your rim fixed.

Or if your wheel isn't bent or anything then try:

http://www.paulspowdercoating.com

and get it powdercoated to whatever color you like.

Just about any Discount Tire store will have them sent out and completely refinished for $125/wheel. Same prices as the places that Firefox mentioned but you just bring them to Discount Tire and they will even remove the tire from your car and replace it with your spare one by one if you can't drop them all off at once.

Let us know how it goes. What was the final price anyway? Got a friend with a bent rim and it's been a while since I've priced them.

It's a flat rate of 129 per wheel. Thats includes removing the tires and remounting them as well. The guy I spoke to on the phone told me that if I drop my car of by 6pm, it'll be ready the next day. Apparently they work around the clock out there. I will let everyone know how the quality of their work is, my digital camera has gone missing so i can't really post before and after pics. Sorry.

Did you really have to go to Duncanville? Or did you go through a Discount Tire?

Dropped off the car at their shop yesterday and was expecting it to be ready by 10 this morning, however Kevin the general manager left me a voice mail saying that the wheels came out fine, but one of his installers scratched the lip during remounting and he's gonna need to redo the wheel, which means he's gonna need my car another night. I'm pretty pissed about this, I called him back and let him know that's fine, don't really know what other option I had. Should I ask for a discount or something considering the inconvenience to me? Just looking for some feedback. Thanks.

Just wanted to clarify that the 129 flat rate doesn't include mounting the tires, it's an addtional $20
