Default need a wheel repair shop in WA

So I have been driving, on my 19" Iforged wheels for about 4 years now. I move to WA and in less than 1 month I hit a pothole on 405 and bend a rim

Does anyone know of a spot where I can get the wheel fixed?

Fosters Wheel in Ballard has close its door quite sometime ago (few years ago?). They will be specializing the wire mesh type rim (for classic cars etc..) repairs. I used to use them a lot when I used to rally race and had so many bent rims.

I highly recommend Dependable Wheel Repair.

i have had some wheels repaired at speedware several times... they always say it could range from like $75 to $150 or $175? but for countless times i have been there and got my wheels fixed... i always got charged for the max price on what they told me. i have gotten a 2" curb rash fixed, dented wheel, wheel chunks got chipped off... yea, i don't know, they seem quite pricey to me. but i am going to say that watever shop that fixes their wheels, they do an excellent job.

I went to speedware and menitioned the wheel they did say they coudl do it but I mentioned that I had a quote from Dependable, they said that dependable had good prices and left it at that. I wouldnt be surprised if that is who they shpped there work out too.

On another issue they seemed to do pretty good inspection work, they found a lot of stuff wrong with the car that I was unaware of and so I was pleasantly surprised.
