Nail in the tire. Which place won't mess up my rim?

I just got 2 tires with nails in them patched yesterday and today the same tire has another nail!! . I took my car to Firestone in Puente hills and they messed up one the rims. It has 3 scratches that are only noticeable at very close inspection. The thing is that they also damaged the finish. About 1mm of the finish peeled off. What place between the 91-60-605-57 do you guys recommend to have this repaired? Does street image do tires?

the best way to repair a tire is patch it from inside like you have done. Just go to any tire place, (ones that specialize in custom wheels) and have them do it.

As for fixing the wheel Kia said it best. Velvet touch

I wish I knew . I'm not looking to get the rim repaired. Hopefully the finish won't continue to peel off though.

Yea something fishy about getting 3 nails. Either somebody hates you or you should stop driving over a bed of nails. Nonetheless...there's only so many patches a tire can take before it starts to ruin the speed rating of the tires. According to the manufacturer, they recommend never to patch a tire up but shoot...$20 repair vs $300 tire? yea roite!
