I need to get my wheels repaired and was wondering who or where was good to go to nowadays. Thanks and I appreciate the feedback!

There's a place local to me in Denver that's repaired wheels for me, about $100ish per wheel IIRC... but he could only repair dents and dings, including lip damage, no major out-of-round or bent-spoke re-bending or anything due to structural damage and liability. They were called Spec Wheel in Commerce City, did a good job, but I could still slightly notice the damaged area after the wheel was repaired. If you're willing to ship, there's likely some very reputable shops around the country.

I'm well aware of Son Tran but these repairs are beyond his scope.

I would take it to Bolton's in Gardena. Ask for Javier, really cool guy and he can help you. The pics looks like you just need to polish the lips and fix that minor bent right? The only thing with him is that you have to remove the tires and bring just the wheels.

Here's his contact: 310-538-5046

I brought my bent rim to wheelflip today. They hammered it out for free. Great guys!

Right before he did it he looked at me and said "Don't be alarmed! This is how we do it!" Then the other guy who was busy bolting a wheel together stopped what he was doing and took a smoke break to chat with me to keep me calm as his coworker banged at my Volk Racing wheel. I trusted them and was willing to pay the money but was very surprised when he told me no charge. He said "That was so easy I'm not even gonna charge you." The wheel looks good and you can't even tell where the bend was.

So wheelflip gets kudos from me.
