Classic BMW has a guy there on site all the time. Look in the back close to the dyno.

Let us know how it pans out, I've been thinking about repairing/refinishing my wheels too.

FWIW, the owner of Wheels America, Bob Stretch, races (or used to race) a BMW in World Challenge. I would assume that he would be a car guy and as such have quality service.

Super old, dead thread, but I got two wheels straightened by Adam and Star Tire and two wheels rash removed at Wheels America last week. Both places did amazing work, for the super low prices. The two straightened rims Road Forced perfect. The rash repair is a PERFECT match to OE, you could never tell where they welded. Just a little more of my $.02....

It was $125 a wheel to straighten the inside lips at Star Tire, and Wheels America was $129 each, but I had to pay to dismount 2 and remount and balance 1...COme to find out at Nine Eleven, my driver rear picked up a small inside dent at some point too, so that'll go into Star again sometime soon...

Oh no this wasn't refinish, this was welding into deep gashes and re-machining...

I had two wheels done by Wheel Repair Solutions in Carrollton, they did great work. It was 125 a wheel including re-mounting and balancing. I am about to take my old Traffic Stars to them and see if I can get them fixed. I miss my dish.

when i say refinish, i mean make the wheel look like new, whatever it may take. i should have been a little bit more detailed, sorry. :thumbsup2:

Wheel Repair Solutions does great work. They chromed my lips and powder-coated the centers on my HRE's.

Overnight.

They pick up wheels from us by 4pm and return them next business day by 1pm
