Not sure where you are at, but there is a place in Clackamas, off Hwy 224. I have talked to them, but not used them yet. A friend of mine sent me there when my wheels got dinged. He has bought factory wheels from them and had some work done there as welll. They do straightening and refinishing. Don't remember the costs, but the people were cool and didn't try and up-sell when all I was looking for was a refinish.

Nice find Doug. I just emailed them myself because I could use them also. There site though doesnt say they do forged wheels though, but lists casts and alloy. So it depends which Volks you are getting if they dont do forged wheels it might not be a viable option. Ill post up when I hear back.

I got a response, they said it "should" be the same process, and its "likely" they would be able to fix it. Although I feel like if this is your field of profession you would say yes it is the same process and its likely we can fix the wheel depending on the damage.

So i called skiwerks and its 75 dollar to straighten the wheel out and at factory wheel outlet they quoted 120
I just knew that FWO was local and did wheel repairs, like I said, I haven't used them or even gotten quotes for repairs. I was just looking at replacements from them.
Good luck, hope they look and ride as good as new when all is said and done.
