Default Wheel refurbishing recommendations ?

Can anybody recommend a good place in St. Louis for fixing some blemishes / curbage on wheels. Hopefully getting a used set of AP2v2s with a few dings and want to get them purty before I put them on my car.

Bump for this thread. I need a lot of work done on a wheel: it will probably require machining, stripping of old paint, a new finish (powdercoat, paint, whatever), and tire dismounting/mounting/balancing of course. Is the Hubcap and Wheel store the only good option? What about Wheel Image, are they still our sponsor, do they do that sort of work?

Thanks.

Haven't seen any large lathe-like machine at Wheel Image - so not sure about their ability to do the first part of your job list. Also, there's been an unhappy customer with the Hubcap & Wheel store on work like you need -- hyedracyl posted it, but I'll be darned if I can find it...

Paul may not do it at his shop, but I bet he could recommend someone. I'll give him a call and see if he has anyone in mind.

I've heard people mention Wheel + Hubcap whenever somebody needs a wheel refinished but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the best... it just means they are the most popular and local. Personally, I have had no experience with them but I do know that it's not really an easy process to straighting + refinish wheels.
