$75 a wheel is cheap for a QUALITY work and a guy willing to drive out to you. For $25 a wheel, be my guess go there, I'm sure you'll get what you pay for.

I'm praising this guy because

1) Search google and Majority of the forums will recommend him
2) Look at the work he does, nothing but quality and he won't be satisfied till you are.
3) He works for dealers, celebrity cars..etc..
4) The price is cheaper then bringing it to magmasters, wheel specialists, etc..
5) His turn around is is VERY fast, and you can watch him do it while you wait.

If your that cheap, and don't care for your wheels, then be my guess and get it done at your place for $25.00 a wheel. I'd rather get it done with a source who is reliable and proven. If your going to thread crap and complain, do it somewhere else not here. Espically with a guy who is known on ALOT of forums.

yes he can fix bends, he sends them out to get fixed, trued, and rebalanced. Once it get's fixed he refinishes the wheels. That's what he told me, when he was refinishing my wheels.

Anyone know how much he would charge for about a 2.5 inch bend? Not too big.

No, it's the wheels that originally came with the GS when I bought it and the chrome has started to flake. Gonna put it on moms SC since it's still has alot of tread life left and the ones on the SC will need to be replaced soon. Also, I plan to get my wheels fixed since the curb rashes are starting to annoy me. Let me know, pare, maybe we can get a better price if we get all the work done together.

Can he refinish the wheels while its on the cars with tires already? Or would I have to dismount it first? Also what about oxidation, can he fix those too?

i'm not trying to flame you or complain. i'm merely offering an alternative to those who choose to. I feel that you calling me "cheap" because theres a place to fix curb rashes for $25(which also does a quality job) is an unjustified attack
