Where can I get wheels repaired around SF?

Scratched my wheels at a garage this weekend. Can anyone recommend a place around SF to get wheels repaired. The damage is very minor, just scratched thru the paint and stuff, but it's bothering me. Thanks.

I need my wheels fixed too. My Volk AV3's are bent. The one place I know of in San Jose is Wheel Techniques. If anyone knows of another place or has been to another place let me know.

wheel techniques seem to be more reliable. in talking to wheel america, they told me they can't guarantee a perfect paint match. wheel technique does more high end wheels where as wheel america gets more referral work from tire shops.

Wheel Techniques is damn pricey and they're cocky sumbitches too who think they're the best in the world. No wheel shop, nor any body shop matches paint 100% exactly, so paint all 4 wheels if you're that picky.

Ive had a few sets of my rims fixed there and they are cocky, but they are the only place that fixes rims in my area.

Did they do the work in-house? A lot of wheel shops send their repair/polish jobs out - usually to the same place. Better to cut out the middle man and go to the source for less money.

Very considering that it's a full wheel coat, not just the face of the wheels as I have seen in some other powder coater.

Also, you have the feeling that you bought "new" rims when u have a fresh coat and have the option to change the color.
