I took one to RZ Motoring and they sent it to some shop in Tampa. There is also Turbax www.turbax.com. They will pick it up, send it to Miami to be repaired, and send it back.

You might also try Alloy Wheel Repair. They claim to be mobile.

I have mobile alloy wheel repair outside my office as we speak fixing 2 of my rims.

I had some minor curb rash on one and some very minor niks other the other front one. At first he was going to spot fix the rash but he didnt like the results so instead he sanded the clear coat off the outter lip (not the dish) and repolished the whole area and it looks good. If you get right up on it you can see where the clear coat starts but how many people are gonna have their face planted on my rims??? and for the time, hassle, and money saved from having to take the rim (without tire) to a shop, it is well worth it.

yeah he did both in under 2hrs and I never left my office....definately the way to go for minor. Im pretty sure he can fix bent rims and all as well but luckly I dont have experience for that.

I doubt a mobile outfit would travel to me in Sebring. Probably be in Orlando next weekend anyway. Only losing 1-2 pounds per day. Been driving for about 20 years and never touched a curb...never been so disappointed with my driving.

I'm borrowing a wheel and tire to tool around on until I get mine back...it's a 114 bolt pattern, right?

Thanks for the heads-up on the shop. They did a great job on my wheels.

When I pealed the rubber off both fronts, I discovered that the left was slightly bent as well. Wasn't losing air, but I've had a lot of road noise since I installed the set. While I thought it was just a result of a bigger setup, the previous racket make a lot more sense now.

Anyway, thumbs up for Olymptus.
