Sorry to hear about your wheels. That sucks! A friend of mine just did that to his new Volk GTC's.
Anywyas, check out RB Motoring
15110 E. Nelson Ave. Unit C
City of Industry, CA 91744
(626) 961 - 9213
I've had a few friends go there and they do great work in house, so there will be less downtime.

Here is my story about Mag Masters,
3 months ago, I was looking for a shop to repair my wheels. I did a lot of research on the forums and decided to go to wheel-repairs.com. I would like to Thank AutoCoutureSC for helping me out and answering my questions about them, but after taking my wheels there, they quoted me 1k+ to either fully polish and repair my wheels or polish the lip/paint the wheel and repair.
Either choice I picked, it was going to be 1k.
I spoke to the owner a few days before I came in and he had quoted me about $100 to repair the wheel, so I was a little surprised that I was quoted 1k to repair.
There was no way I could afford 1k to repair the wheels, so I decided to go to Mag Masters, since Liz quoted me a great price to fully re-polish the entire wheel (price for 4 wheels), so I figured that at least that was an option.
Once I got there, Liz was really really really cool. Her customer service was second to none. I asked her about 50 questions about the wheel repair and we spent about 45 minutes discussing my options. Even though she was really busy, she was not pushy and was very patient in answering all my questions.
I decided to paint the wheel and have the lips fully polished. She gave me a price and it was half of what the wheel-repairs.com would have charged me. I dropped the wheels off and I was set. A few days later I wanted part of the center cap to be polished instead of being completely painted. I called Liz and asked if she could do it. She placed me on hold, and came back to me and said that it wouldn't be a problem and that it would not cost me anything extra!
A few days later I picked up the wheels and they were exactly as promoised. The wheels were painted exactly the way I wanted, the lips were fully repolished and repaired, the center cap was was polished as I requested, and the price was what she gave me when I dropped them off.
The only issue that I had was that she gave me a date when the wheels would be ready, however it ended up being a few days later. This was not entirely their fault, since I told her that I did not need the wheels back at any specific time and I told her to take as long as they needed.
I have heard about a few stories in which Mag Masters did not do a good job, but I went there and I was 100% satisfied with their price, service, and work.

i would also say avoid mag masters in santa ana. their work is OK, but their turn around time and customer service SUCKS.
i had discount tire center in LF refresh my lips when i got new rubber put on. they dont do it in house, but it was a fast turn around. a couple days or so for repolish and reclear.

that would be a negative on wheels america too. They tried to work on my 3 piece wheels but failed. It was dull like crazy. I could've done a better job.
I gave them 2 chances. In the end, they said, "you're too picky... you should open up your own shop." Bunch of BS
