Wheel barn is good
Absolute best place I have ever used is Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA. Yeah its a pain to ship but I have not had a wheel straightened and refinished any better anywhere else.

if its not vibratingor leaking and not cracked leave it alone specially if the lip is bent cause when they bend it back usually it will crack and have to be welded and once welded they will never be the same it might look good but will crack again in the same place.trans wheel did mine it was cracked they welded it and refinished it on the inside it looked good and balanced out perfect and charged me $175 but 6 months later it started leaking when checked it was a hairline crack in the same spot.got it redone at a shop on 40th close to bush gardens they gave me a warranty on it but said thay wouldnt refinish it or it will crack again so it was just welded but unfinished doesnt look pretty but its holding up so far a year later. its on the inside so you cant see it but it took a lot of weight to balance out but i didnt wanna take any chances so i put it on the rear i payed $60 there ill get the name and number for you in the morning if you want

true,i went to trans wheels, and the guy said he didnt want to deal with it, incase it were to crack..he gave me a guys number tho, who he said is real good, so ill just see if t needs to be fixed, if not, then im not gonna mess with it.

Glen's wheel polishing. Been around for ever. he fixed one of my e36m3 wheels when it wasn't even round enough to hold air in the tire. Balanced perfectly when he was done.
