Wheel repair, recommendations?

Looking to get my wheels (lips) refinished and wondering if anyone has some recommendations of good shops to go to?

TIA

A simple search would have solved your query There was a thread back in Jan/Feb about this. But there is a guy in Arlington his name is Mike and his phone number is 425 280 5309 and he charges usually $75 or so per wheel. Does excellent work. He's done multiple of my friends' effed up wheels.

Will do. Here's a current picture of them, you can see they need a lot of work



Taking them to Mukilteo Powder Coating Inc next week, still can't decide on Black or Bronze but leaning on Black.

Also anyone know where I can find some new wheel bolts? Not sure if these will be repairable

When the people mentioned Fosters in Renton did they mean this place?
http://www.dependablewheel.com/

It says "Tim Fosters" in the top of the frame, but looks like it's changed named.

Also when you had the repairs made did you just take him a single wheel with no tire mounted?

I have a couple I would like to get repaired, but would be easiest to just take them both in and drop them off with tires on them.

Thx, Mike
