Wheel Straightening and Refinishing

Post by Raven »

So I have a wheel or two that needs to be straightening and a few that need refinishing for a case of curb rash. I'm wondering what companies you guys can recommend?
All my cars have drum brakes and are sub 200 hp, what am I doing with my life?

Do any of you guys have a second choice? I'd like to get my wheels refinished and that place has some of the worst reviews I've seen a business get on the web.

I've seen a truck with "wheel restoring and repair" graphics rolling around Rockville going to and from the Bentley/Rolls Royce shop down the street from my work.
I've never been able to catch the name or web address off it.
