wheelscollision.com> supposed to be very reputable.
I sent one mine there, but it was to damaged to be repaired. They are published on the back of the Car and Driver mag.

good luck

Ye Old Wheel shop in Elkridge Maryland is supposed to be the best place on earth. I had a wheel repair there and it was perfect. (Curb rash) only cost me 75 bucks. Also a Customer of mine has a Lotus V8TT and he curbed a wheel and sent it there and it also came out perfect. Here are some other links you might be able to check out and see if there is a local shop you can use instead. I can only speak for the shop in MD. Car and driver did a write up on this guy and his work is the best. You decide. http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/TireWhee...heelrepair.htm
