Wheel repair

I've just had two wheels damaged on my '91 RX7. These are the five spoke, 5 lug stock wheels. The rear took the hardest hit and is slightly bent. Has anyone used a wheel restoration place. If so, who did you use and how happy are you with the result.
Or.....Does anyone have a source for used wheels for this car?

I checked into wheel repair once and the prices were ridiculous. You could buy new ones cheaper. Of course if you found someone local then that's another story.

IMO it's not worth fixing. Stock wheels s/b avail. pretty cheap I would think.

Cheers

i guess it depends on how bad its damaged. if it is that stock Coupe wheel then it might be a little harder to simply find a replacement used one as a lot of people like those.

I went to a Discount tire to have a wheel repaired once and its like $100

I would buy a used one. Give Kevin a call..He's on the forum. Below are a listing I secured from the midwest area. I've dealt with Andy @ Mitch's in Michigan. Give a call-No price listed, but has numerous wheels in stock.
