I can confirm Mark is the owner of the wheel repair located behind BMW Austin (in back, down the side street between BMW and Mini---in the fenced used car area). He has been doing my --and mostly my wifes(!) curbed wheels for a couple of years. I have been very happy. -mark h (fossilfuel)

I recommend Wheel Technologies. They fixed a small crack on the inner lip of my wheel and refinished it. They did this all in 24 hours for about $120.

Default Wheels America

I have had real good luck with this Co out of their Buena Park, CA office: Wheels America. Turn around is snappy. $129 a wheel for factory type of refinish, you pay the freight to them, they pay the freight back, AND, if the wheel needs any straightening, that is included in the $129. If the wheel is seriously damaged, they won't touch it and will ship the wheel back to you. They have locations in:

DALLAS HOUSTON LOS ANGELES(Buena Park) SAN FRANCISCO
SAN ANTONIO PHILADELPHIA
