Default wheel repair in Mass, RI, Ct, area?

I might be getting rid of my RH wheels and switching back to stock twist just to mix things up a little. One of the twists has a slight bend on the outer most part. It drives and balances fine but I would like to get it repaired. Does anyone know or recommend a shop in the RI, Mass, or Ct, area that I could take or ship it to? Maybe it would just be cheaper to buy a used one I know but then if it is not 100% I will be in the same position. Thanks guys.

Call Jerrry at EPE in Natick, Mass; probably the best Porsche independent in the area. He should be a good resource.

Yes, I agree. Jerry just did 5k of work on my car for me a few months ago, great place. I wasn't sure if he did repairs to wheels, but even if he doesn't he probably knows someone who does. Thanks.

These folks are in Waltham, they did a good job on some Mercedes rims for me.

Will do Ryan. I am still up in the air at this point. I keep looking at the coolest wheel thread and it messes with my head. However, they will look fantastic on your car, for some reason Arena red and the RH, or Speedline type wheels look really nice together. You have a C4S right? You may need a spacer to fit properly. I'm thinking of going with my stock twists or maybe buying a set of hollow twists, but they are tough to find in narrow body fitment.

I used Rimpro in Tewksbury MA. They did and excellent job powder coating but I think painted wheels look better. IMHO
