Default Looking for a shop to have wheels repaired in Northern NJ

I bought Oetty RE's used and they had more damage then I was told. I want to have them repaired so they look better. I think all four have curb rash to some extent and a few have light surface scratches. I'm looking for a good shop that isn't going to be really expensive b/c I'm a kid and don't really have any income lol. But if you guys could help out that would be aweosme.

Thanks, Matt

Default US Wheels in Fairfield

Repair of bend and rashes is good but I have heard painting may not be so good. My SSR Comps just had bend and rashes SSR and did not need painting

Default do you find they bend very easily or just if you encounter a large pothole?

considering picking some up for the elise in 16/17 size. i would definitely like to hear what you think of them.

Default They do bend more easily than say stock S4 wheels

and I did hit a few big potholes. I have destroyed 2 so far. I have pressed out bends with a screw jack and have beltsanded out rash on a few. SSR comps are no longer made so I am looking for new wheels. I would not recommend them.

Default They are back in production now...I wonder if the lower weight of the elise would help against

bends.

I had BBS forged wheels on my audi...awesome wheels and you can find 'em used if you are patient.
