All I have to say is Stockton Wheel Service.
I took a CE28N to all the before mentioned shops. None of them could fix the wheel, or they did'nt want to touch it because they did not know what it was made of.
I took it to Stockton and they had it fixed in 3 days. $100, 4 years ago. About 3 weeks ago I took them another wheel from my E55 20x10" 3 piece wheel. Fixed. No problem, fast and a couple of bucks more $115. Not bad to only go up $15 in 3+years. Service is worth the effort to go to them, Hell Jay Leno even takes his vintage wheels to them. They do it all, they can even widen wheels. Good luck.

They've done a good job on my stuff and I'll be taking another pair to them soon.

These guys have 2 shops, according to their website... is one a good shop & the other not so good? I'm up near Sac, so that's where I'd prefer to go.

Soggy, wanna take my wheels in since you have such good luck with them?

I've taken at least 6 different loose wheels and 2 different sets to these guys over the years and they have also blasted a lot of pieces for me (old Celica rear axle housing, every suspension piece, etc). They blasted and polished the rim section of some old Supra wheels for me for an amazing price. They have fixed cracked, bent and curbed wheels for me - always reasonable prices, always good turn-around time and never one problem. This was the Campbell shop on Winchester.
