Repairing wheels / rims

Luckily this post is not for me. My friend's got some rim damage (slightly bent) to one of his wheels. Apparently they don't make the wheel anymore.

Does anyone know of a shop that does wheel repair?

any gas station shall be fine. since you're out in MTown, check out the Chevron (if still there!), across the golf course. i used to live by the course years ago, had a flat in my '79 monte and got the tire plugged there.

You can also run down to Checkers and buy a plug kit. The only bummer is your tire just lost its performance rating.

Unless you changed your tires so that they are all the same width/series/wheel size, you shouldn't be able to rotate your tires from the back to front (front to back).
