MD/DC/VA area wheel repair?
I need a high end wheel repair shop and im not sure if my area provides one. My buddy bent his left front wheel, the fronts are 3 piece forged chrome 22x9.5's I think...anyways he needs to get the lip repaired. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Bro,
Go to Ye Olde Wheel Shop in Elkridge,MD (6363 Washington Blvd)
1.800.526.8260 or 410.796.8400 ask for Daniel Yi
The did a AWESOME job when they fixed my 19' AMG rims that I had on my E55.
You can schedule a appointment for a Sat, and drive the rim up and they will fix it while you wait.

I've sent a lot of business Ye Ol' Wheel Shop's way (HRE's, Auto Couture, etc, etc.). They have the capability to produce good work, but I hate dealing with them. If I can find another local alternative, I'm wiling to give them (the alternative that is) a shot.
Just as someone had said, I hate calling there too, to check on the status of wheels that I have up there. Trying to make sense to the lady that answers the phone is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. They always say 2 weeks and simply don't deliver time wise.
I remember more recently having them repair a set of brand new HRE's for a 745. As the wheels were being reinstalled, a slight bend was still present enough in the rim that it caused that annoying centrific wobbling at a speed. The wheel was returned to Ye Ol & received an ear full saying that we damaged the wheel after repair.
Needless to say, they took back the wheel & repaired it free of cost.
The trick and/or key to Ye Ol is to befriend one of the techs who actually work on the wheels and you'll be more than OK. I used to know the shop Owner's son, but since I didn't need any repairs for the past couple of years, I lost his #.
I'll do some digging and see what other options may be available. Check back later tonight.

Last time I went, I made a Sat appointment and drove up with the rim and waited for them to fix it.

We have had different experiences, but coming from someone who has spent at least $1,100 in wheel repairs (directly and indirectly) one would think that my experience would have been as rewarding as yours.
