Wheel repair in SoCal?

I have a 2006 SLK 55 AMG and one front and one rear wheel were curbed pretty bad. They aren't bent, just scraped pretty bad. I am looking for a reputable wheel repair shop in either North Orange County or Pasadena area. Anybody have any suggestions? A referrence goes a long way when I am looking for repairs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Wheels America has a location in Santa Fe Springs. They'll fax you a UPS call tag if you need them to pick them up, leave the tire on, they'll rebalance them too. I paid $256 for two Jeep SRT rims that were seriously hosed up. Good luck...

Have not used him personally. He fixes wheels for celebs like Jay Leno; guys on the E90post forum rave about him and his affordability. I've seen before and after photos of his work, and it is unbelievable. He doesn't even need to take the wheel off of the car either.

Good luck.
