Wheel Repair
I need to repair some wheels. Is there a place that does it all?
strip the paint, fix wheel imperfections, repaint (powder coat)

Besides the information that was posted before on Freddie's isn't accurate and the number doesn't work.
Anyone have the number?

thanks
- I just got off the phone with... Anyone have experience with them? The guy doesn't seem to patient or wanting to help and give me information about what they do
cost is approximately 75-95 per wheel depending on different factors that he didn't want to go into. They can try to color match but it'll be more expensive.

HiTec will do powder coating, but I'm not sure that they repair rims. You said you wanted a all-in-one shop, right? If you want, call Todd at Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists of Hawaii. I spoke to him about fixing my knackered BBS rim for the STi. He has the factory gold color for Subaru Rims. He repairs curbage and other minor damages to rims and paints them. He is mobile as well.
He quoted me about $200 for the one BBS rim, but if you think about it, #1: my one rim is pretty screwed and needs a lot of work; #2: BBS wheels are expensive...just how you think about it. His # is 391-8633. Hope this helps.
