Default Recommendation needed for wheel repair place

I'm looking for a place in the southeast area that can clean up some wheel damage ranging from curb rash to a decent sized gouge on the bead seat. Has anyone had good luck with some places in the Carolinas? I'd like to find somewhere relatively close to save on shipping, or even better, somewhere within driving distance. If not, I'll have to send them off to California or Texas. Thanks in advance for the help!!

We had good luck with " Ye Ole Wheel Shop " Toll Free 1-800-526-8260 in Maryland, my wife bent a wheel on her BMW. They advertise in Autoweek and did a great job. It took about a week and a half. $90 bucks total beat a $350.00 new wheel. It's not hard to UPS them.

Call Crown Honda or Performance BMW in Chapel Hill, NC. Speak with someone in the service department and ask them about the guy that they contract who specializes in re-finishing a curb rashed, scratched wheel. I used him and was very please with the results. He is mobile also, so he may be able to come to you depending on the distance.

Go to 'The Wheel Exchange' in Raleigh. They will fix any allow wheel for $100. If you throw another $25 they will refinish it too. It takes about one week to get the wheels back.

You can also ask the guys at wheeltechnologies in Atlanta(I think) (www.wheeltechnologies.com). I haven't used them but they are well known in the industry
