Default Any recommendations for places in NJ to get bent wheels fixed

The bends are only minor, at least I believe, because the car isn't exhibiting any pull to either side and steers fine. Its the stupid NJ and NY potholes that are killing my 18" wheels.

Default There was a post a few days ago about this......

There is a place in Fairfield NJ called USA Wheels. Ask for Jeff, 973-237-7977. I hear they do great work.

Default Same issues here, I posted the USA info (more)

a few days ago. Had my DTM straightened and polished. Excellent job. Mention to Jeff that you got his info from Audiworld and that Matt who was in last week recommend him. Maybe he'll start giving out an Audiworld discount!!!

Default How long a turn around time did it require? Also what do you think the cost is per wheel or per 4?

I would love to find out that it is same day service cause I'm pretty busy these days and can definately give up one day for this, but I hope I don't have to go and drop them off and then go back to that area to pick them up a week later.

Stupid Sportec 18's need much more than a 225/40/18 S03-PP to protect them from bending and scuffing. I know of 2 potholes I have hit in the last year, and the wierd thing is that I have these really really strange scuffs and according to Audi Service today rotating my wheels is silly cause ALL of them are bent.

Default Ship U.P.S. to Precision Collision in Bath NY

Insurance grade work, nationally recognized, you can actually have a new rim first, then send yours back as a core charge.

Default Answers...

No they were not becker but I believe they may have worked at becker. Cost $100 to straighten and polish my wheel, but that may have been an introductory cost (so hopefully 4 wheels would be under 400 with a little discount). I left the wheel there at noon and picked it up the next morning. A buddy had his done while he waited. It all depends on how busy they are.
All in all very convenient, first class service. It's especially cost effective if you live in the area.
