San Antonio Wheel shop?

Hey guys..

I'm new to the G35 community.. just got a used one last week after some kid destroyed my WRX..

I know, an unlikely transition, but while I coveted the G35's sexy look, I couldn't get myself to settle on its mediocre speed... (sorry guys, but honestly my WRX would have run circles around this thing... anyway, not here to start a fight )

So, I bought an 04 Black G35 used from a local dealership, but didnt know until i went to balance the tires, that the rims were slightly bent... 2 on the same side, probably from the previous owner running a pothole or something..

Sevas S55 20's.. In any case, I was wondering if anyone know a good wheel shop that could straighten these out... I know that straightening bent wheels usually result in weaker rims, but if I cant justify the price, I may just replace 2... I am also aware that Sevas aren't the greatest of rims, and I've been reading elsewhere around the web that these wheels tend to be on the weak side..

Any help would be great!! Thanks

hmm, i wonder if repairing bent wheels will be cheaper... then again, i did note that wheels america charged the same price for something.. i forget exactly what the service was...

wonder if that applies to bent wheels

Also Gil's on San Pedro does pretty good work. There is a shop in New Braunsfels that does exceptional work, they have repaired my 24's on my BMW a few times.
