Unhappy Chicago Area Wheel Repair

Guys,

I'm in desperate need of a really good wheel repair shop somewhere in the Chicagoland area. I recently took one of my C55 wheels to a shop here in downtown Chicago and they managed to make the wheel worse! I'm talking drips, overspray, painted right over the center cap, you name it...

If anyone has a good experience with wheel repair around here please chime in with their contact info!

All is greatly appreciated.

Perry

I tracked down a place called Keystone Automotive in Chicago. Got the recommendation from an NSX owner who said they do top notch work, and I know those NSX guys are fanatic about their cars. He also said his shop repaired an E55 wheel there and it came out perfect. This being said, I'm going there on Saturday morning to drop my wheel off.

There's one in Arlington Heights behind the Japanese market at the corner of Algonquin Road and Arlington Hts Road. It's called Wheels America or something like that.

The Chicago location does have a great reputation.
