SE michigan - wheel straightening?
I think I have a slightly bent wheel on my turbo. (997) I've had a few suggestions, but does anyone have personal experience with anyone in the area? Very slight bend that results in a vibration at speed (its not balance)

Detroit Wheel is typically the go-to place for this kind of work. They've refinished some wheels for me and I trust them with wheel work in general.
That being said, if your wheel bent because it was pushed over the edge, when they bend it back into shape, it will bend back out more easily than it did before. I had a car that bent 11 rims in 50,000 miles, and I tried straightening four and it was a complete waste of money. I had a shop that did mobile work come out to my office and take care of it and they had a good reputation. A month later, they all went out of round again. That company I couldn't remember the name of, because at that point, I swore it off as a service entirely.
