One of the new wheels I picked up has a very slight bend on it. Doesn't seem enough to effect the inner seal and not immediately noticeable from most angles. But before I spend too long at with it a hammer and cloth, do any of you guys have any hookups with rim repair shops or anywhere that could use the right tool to bend back into place? Wouldn't take too much effort really.

America's Best Automotive (the place where we had the alignment meet) does wheel repair. They have a badass machine for it too!

Cool. I could do with stopping by there again. Any idea of a rough cost? About to check their website.

America's best want $125. We have the mx5 coupon to bring it down to $105. Anyone think there is a better price?

Well they would do $80 because they're 15's.

I've had good work done by wheel wizzard in chamblee, but I know other people have had issues with them.
$80 is damn good price, especially if dismount and remount of tire is involved. I'd be more interested in making sure the work is top notch than in potentially saving a couple beans though.

They're a good shop. We had a meet there when we first started with the S2K club, and they handle all sorts of luxury exotics.
I've also used wheel wizard. Excellent work and turn around time.

Metro is a ripoff, avoid them like the plague.
