I'm not sure where either, but I have 5 18" rims total.....4 being on the car and 1 that is curbed to death sitting in my garage. I was planning on getting it repaired also eventually. Until then, since wheel repair is the same cost whether its a small rash or a big one..... I'm willing to lend mine out (within reason) if it helps you guys out.

Mine are 19s thanks anyways =)

say, do they fix the wheels in like an hour or do i have to leave the wheel at the shop cause I don't have a spare and need to use the car ... Its a 2 inch rash.

bad part is i'm pretty new at stickshift lol and going to SF is not a good idea. anyone tried these guys before?

Wheel Techniques is probably the best in the area. I just had my Hamann wheel repaired and it came out like new. Only thing bad is they are very busy so it will take a few weeks to fix.

Wheel Techniques fixed my old school racing hart tracers. looked brand new.

the rim fell face flat and the outer edges got all jacked. they fixed it no problem. my friend went to the same place with a curbed rim. did an awesome job. $120/ wheel

for my wheel, they only took 1 day. not sure how long they took for my friend's

I called wheel techniques, so if they are the stock 18's, they are a 3 coat wheel and most likely around $175-$200 a rim. Most other places I called said they do a 2 coat process which is most likely why some people have complained about having darker repaired rims. The stock 19's will cost less since they don't need all those coats.
