Body shop i just used recommended Wheel Repair Solutions in San Rafael (two doors down from them). Have not used them but the body shop only does high end cars (Porsche, McLaren, etc) so I doubt they'd use them if they sucked.

I have used Rite-Way Wheel in Walnut Creek to have Turbo Twists straightened and was quite happy with the results.

Nittos are semi-cheater tires. R6s are cheater tires and slicks are super cheater tires. Careful, once you get a sniff of the R6s they are hard not to come back for me.
