Any recos for shop to repair bent wheels in SoCal??
My right wheels are slightly bent. Even though I had the wheels re-balanced, I feel a slight vibration over 70 mph. Anyone have any reco's for a good wheel repair shop? Preferably in or near San Fernando Valley or the west side.

I called them first. They told me "A bent wheel is a trashed wheel". They don't believe in repairing wheels. Now if I want to buy a new one, they'd be more than happy to accomodate me.

I had a bent wheel fixed at a shop in Huntington Beach once - cannot remember the name, but may help you narrow your search a bit. I think I looked in the yellow pages at the time under "wheel repair." It was a BMW wheel and the old girlfriend (this has been about 10 years ago) destroyed it in a pothole. Uggh. Good luck. Seems like it was on Graham or McFadden or something.

Check out the Alloy Wheel Repair franchise and see if they have a branch in your area. They specialize in damaged wheels. THe one in VA repaired a damaged wheel for me and did an excellent job. I was very happy with the results. They have before and after photos of bent wheels as well. Here is the link:
