Default Curb Rash Wheel Repair in Inland Empire?

Any recommendations in the 909 area? I see a lot of recommendations in the OC/LA area like MagMasters, etc...

The previous owner I bought my IS250 from had some major curb rashing on the stock 18" front 2 wheels. One of them almost goes half way around the rim. One of the back wheels also has a major curb rash which I will admit to doing that lol. I'm debating on getting them repaired or just buying a new set of wheels depending on the cost of the repair.

Any input is appreciated

I live in Corona and could not find a reputable wheel repair shop so I took all 4 of my wheels to Magmasters in Santa Ana. $160 later ($40 per wheel) I was back looking good. Just my $.02

There is a company down here in south orange county called Velvet Touch that I found out about. They can do many repairs without dismounting the tires, at least that's what I've been told. Their # is 949-836-6164.

I'm also looking for a shop to repair my wheels. There are some curb rashes that I need to get fixed. I'm looking for a good/reputable place hopefully around the San Gabriel Valley. Someone please recommend me a spot.

I have a smal bend on the outside of my rim from a pothole. I was originally told $125-$150. But they called back and said it would be $250 because they would have to "repaint" the entire rim due to the heating process to bend it back. Lexus wants over $600 for a new rim. Seems like a rubber mallet would be the cheapest fix. Any suggestions??
