Urgent - bent a rim, any wheel repair shops in Boston?
Title says it all - I was driving last night on Storrow Drive and hit a big pot hole (damn the city for not fixing it). Right away I knew and when I got to my gf's house I saw it too - the front left rim is slightly bent... The car drives straight, can't feel any shaking etc but I want to get it fixed. It is a 19" Brabus Monoblock VI replica (not that it matters).
Does anyone know a rim repair shop in Boston? I also have 2 small scratches on two other rims, I might want to fix those if they are reasonable.
Thanks,
Sergiu

doh, that sucks. Hate the roads in Boston...so many hugh potholes and they never fix 'em. Probably waiting till end of Winter to start cuz they know the patches will just be dug up by the plows.
Anyways, there's a good place I hear of all the time in Newton, Rim Works I think it's called. Heard good stories about them, give them a call.
Good luck!

I went to Rim Works in Newton this weekend and for $150 I got it all fixed. There are minor scratches on the wheel (probably from the straightening machine) but nothing noticeable. I highly recommend them. It also seems like other shops in the area (Direct Tire where all the Celtics players go, Maineke etc) use them as they all say they are sending it "out to Newton" and ask for more money.
Look them up, hopefully you don't need them...
