Hey, yes he does fix bends. He sends the wheel out to get fixed and rebalanced.

This guy is VERY fast. Took him 2hrs total dissasembly and repolish and wet sanding my rims.

Dude, this guy is AMAZIMG...search in google, youll see his name plastered all over the BMW forums and G35 forums fixing wheels.

Like I said, he works on alot of celebrity cars, dealerships etc..fixing wheels. That's all he does.

He will take care of you, just tell him Chris from the lexus forums told you about him and he'll take care of you

Like I also said before, I'm not affliated with him or anything, just spreading the word !

Jordan, he paints wheels and I'm sure he can powdercoat them. He was telling me the process on how they paint them but it was jeberish to me.

HAHA tromly, you should see the other forums, they want this guy in all states haha

Joeker, he charges anywhere from $50-$100 depending on what he has to do. From what I was seeing on the BMW forums, a curb rash like the one up top only cost $75 bucks or so, he'll be done in an hr or so on site AND he'll drive to you. If you drive to him, he will hook you up cheaper.

I paid $100.00 because I had him dissasemble the rim, and the job took 2 hrs to look like that. Other places even magmasters was charging $150.00

Dude, I know I keep reiterating myself, but this guy..literally is..like God's gift to wheels hahaha just search google and you'll see

I haven't personally dealt with him before, but my friends have always had good experiences with him. I've seen his work and it's definitely quality; even if he were to charge the same rates as other shops, I would still probably go to him because not only is he cheaper, he also has great turnaround time. I've heard nothing but great things about him. Actually surprised he hasn't been recommended on here more since he has a great rep on just about every other forum.
