Default Wheel repair in the GTA?

Any recommendations for a wheel repair facility in Toronto? I have 3 unmounted two piece BBS/Porsche 18" Sport Design wheels with cosmetic damage(two w/ curb rash and one with a dent on the rim). Looking for a reliable and cost effective repair solution. I've done a search, but am hoping to get some additional
feedback.

Thanks,
Aron in Toronto

I have a small curb rash on one of my rear wheels....will they come to my place and remove the wheel from the car or do I have to do that myself....I live in Pickering.

I hit the curb when I went through a snow drift, curb rash on the passenger side wheels. I had them fixed and then had all 4 repainted. Stock OEM silver painted wheels.

I have 2 set of wheels so they didn't need to take them off the car for me.

That's a great price Greg. I think I'll call them in a few months for a set of rims that need some TLC. Where are they located?

I had it done like last summer, here is their website. I didn't even know about the website.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Also I'd be interested in finding a single 18x7.5" et50 Sport Design for a front Boxster (986) fitment, if anyone has a lead on one.

I just spoke to Howard and he told me it would be $150 to machine each lip and $50 more for each rim to paint as well. I've got BBS Sport Classics - 2 piece. Thats a bit more than I thought it was going to be based on the info I've found. I think I'll call Collision Networks, Engineered Auto and Autowerks to see how I do. Anybody else I should check with?
