Wheel repair shops in the bay area
Hey whats up guys!
I got a couple questions for u guys, I have an older Honda Accord and I am trying to fix up the rims to sell em so I can buy parts for my STi haha. Since its so hard to sell rims that are damaged, I was wondering if any of you guys knew a pretty good place around the bay area to get your rims fixed up. I have no dents on the rims just some curb rash. If you guys know any places lemme know, that would be very helpful. Thanks.

i've had bad experiences with wheel techniques.
Long story short, i brought my 1 bent SSR comp wheel to them to repair. They said turn around time is 3-4 days no problem, paint matching was no problem, and they can definitely have the rim looking brand spanking new like as if it just got shipped over from japan. So I called them at the end of the 4th day, and they said it's not done yet and instructed me to call back tomorrow, did that, and they said the paint's not done drying yet, try monday as it was already saturday. Monday comes along, and i gave them a ring again, and they tell me it's ready, so i went into the shop to pick up my wheels. the color on it was COMPLETELY whack. No where near the original paint color of my ssr comp anthracite with polish lip. So they said they'll get it right this time around, but would need me to drop off one of my wheels at home to them so they can color match it to that. I did that the following business day, and they said they'll call me when it's done. 3 days go by, and still no call, so i give them a call during their business hours and by then they already know i'm the guy with the ssr wheel. They inform me that they're in the process of getting the wheel color matched, sending it out to some paint dealer or somethin for computer matching and give them some time. I said alright well, let me konw when i should expect my wheels to be done. He said call back next week, and so i left it at that until the following week. Gave wheel techniques a call, and the same guy picks up and he's literally out of excuses. Finally tells me that they can't color match the wheels and i'm PISSED. I ended up playing getting the run around for 5 weeks while my car was out of commission since i have BBK and i wasn't able to get ahold of another set of wheels, paying additional money to get all FOUR of my wheels resprayed a completely diff color, just so i can have a set of 4 matchiing SSR comps.
Wheel techniques SUCK.
Just last week, my friend has a set of ssr comps and one needed to be repaired. They claimed/promised it will be the same color if they repair it. Surely enough, it was the same color, as they only repaired the lip where the bend was. But that's only because they never even touched the paint. With that said, they chipped the paint off the spokes of the wheel in several places during the repair process, and also grinded the **** out of the inside wheel lip during the repair process. DEFINITELY DO NOT bring your wheels to wheel techniques.
