Any rim repair shops?
I recently found out that 2 of my rims are bent slightly and I was hoping to get some recommendations on where I could possibly take it to in order to repair it. I am currently running SSR Type F 18x8 rims. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Rite-Way does top notch work, but they also change top notch prices. From my visits there couple years back, I did not see many cars below the 6-figure mark.
They quotes me $400-500/wheel to fix and powder coat a set of '04 STi BBS wheels but Walnut Creek is a white washed rich area with Teslas instead of Priuses, so the shop changes proportionately to the median incomes.

I am not questioning their quality, more so difference between "Not Cheap" and "Overpriced Simply Because We Can". I went to Fremont and got just as good of work for fraction of the price because...well...it is industrial Fremont. Location location location location

I got my whole set of P1s media blasted and powder coated for $300 in Santa Clara. There are shops that will do it for less too, but I know this guy does good work for sure.
