I think I know of the shop that Hozzman is talking about. I've seen some of their work before/after on a set of rims and you could not tell which rim was the bent one after the work was finished, really good job! And you can drop off my GT rims when you go to p-town

if its hand done then ill just pull out my hammer and sand paper.

i found a shop near me called ramona chrome. any know if the shops any good?

i was also talkin to one the guys there about the methods they used to repair wheels and he stated that they would have to heat up the aluminum to bend it back. just wanted to know if that was normal. he said there was a machine alternative too, should i look into that instead? im pretty sure its more expensive, it was something like a cnr machine or something i forget. i only have a small little bend on the lip of one of my wheels.
