Car: Where to get wheels fixed?

[dagle]

So where should I go to get my wheel fixed, it's a fancy shmancy Volk Racing wheel with a bent lip (can see stress cracks on the other side). The kicker is... this wheel in it's current form mounted tire fine, and balanced with weights :wtf

The wheel is monoblock forged 1-piece aluminum.

Any suggestions before I yelp every wheel shop in the bay? :|

bad experience with them, but will keep that in mind. they assured me last time with a different set of wheels (sent pictures + explained over the phone) that they would be able to fix it. I set a date, drove an hour out there only to have him tell me both wheels cannot be repaired. Might have been lack of information etc., but I didn't particularly like his guarantee to get his foot in the door (since it was supposed to be a sure thing, I took it to him). I think that's a shady way to approach selling the services.

monoblock forged aluminum, deadblow bending it back the other way will risk cracking/fracturing it on it. If it was some cast/replica nonsense I would have been smashing away by now :rofl

Try Kens wheels in S.F. IIRC the're on Harrison around 4th 0r 5th st. I had them straighten a large Aluminum wheel a few years ago and they did fine. cost around $100
