Awesome shop. A few years ago, my brother let a friend of his borrow his Viper for a weekend and it came back with 2 curbed wheels. One of which was bent. They fixed the wheels and you could not even tell that anything had happened.

Well worth the drive. They straightened a rim for me that a couple of other shops couldn't fix.

It depends on the damage really.

It's usually around $175 for a forged 17" wheel

Pacific Rim is the best of the best... they are in the east bay and their service cannot be beat. Every single dealership in the Fremont Automall uses them... BMW, Porsche, etc... The fixed my P1 wheel and you couldn't even tell anything happened to it. 2 of the spokes were messed up as well as the actual rim... Cost $140 though.

right-way used to be cool, but now their gig is to polish your alloy wheels, and not clear-coat them.

6 months later, your rims are trashed and dull, and they tell you to get them re-polished all over again.

I used to manage a carwash in Walnut Creek, and they did this to a TON of our customers.

They're also limited, they can only repair bent lips.

I picked up some alloys for my BMW 2002 back in the day, and one wheel the center was off-axis to the drum of the wheel, and Rite-way couldn't do it...
