I've heard these guys do a nice job:

They're a regular advertiser in Panorama.

Also, Intersport Performance, in Tysons Corner, uses someone that comes to their shop periodically. Saw some nicely repaired wheels when they were brought back.

Try Wheel Doctor - from what I've heard, they do a nice job and are pretty quick with turnaround time.

Some luck lies not in getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.

Dan ( Wheel Doctor) did a great job on my Fuchs. $900 for the five of them. But fast turn around time was not part of the deal. About 6 weeks. He will however pick up and deliver to your door.

Al Reed did my Fuchs a few years ago, they were ugly. Very slow turnaround but $600.00 for four wheels plus shipping well worth the price and wait.

Hey Chino, may want to let these guys know it's not for a Pcar. Prolly don't want to spend $$$ for Honda/Mazda rim repair. Have you looked into sourcing used?
