Fixing rims in the SF Bay Area

3 of my rims on my Lexus are bended and all 3 are losing air. In addition, they are not balanced as well since the weights have fallen off. Can anyone recommend a place in the area to get it fixed? What would be the approximately cost per rims? (they are slightly bend with multiple bend on 2 wheels) Most importantly, a place that is close to San Mateo and a relatively quick turnaround time? Thanks!

wheel technique in SJ near airport

or

wheel america in hayward

neither are really great and both will set you back $200-250/wheel to fix the bend since they have to strip the paint, heat up the wheel and reshape it. You may want to look for aftermarket or take off wheels instead.

These guys, at 5th & Howard in SF, did a great job on curb rash. Don't know how they's do on more serious repairs. http://www.kwicksilversf.com/b%26a.htm

You should expect to pay 125-150 per each. If they are all one piece which I'm guessing they are then you should be right around $125 per each with paint or polishing. If they need diamond cutting then you'll pay more.

Good Luck,
