bent rim...who can fix in PA

a buddy of mine bent his 18s on his car. Do you guys know of any places in western PA that will fix wheels. The rim is chromed and has about a 1.5inch lip if that makes a difference.

Thanks

btw, chrome is the most expensive to fix cuz usually the chrome cracks and mutates when fixing so it has to be rechromed.

potentially $400+ to fix a chrome wheel.

i looked at his chrome...it didn't look cracked at all. It was bent just ever so slightly...could barely tell visually, but it is definitely felt through the steering wheel.

I called

Chrome rim repair is 225-300 dollars to repair a bend.. 4 weeks time... They need to rechrome the rim, so they ship it off to the West Coast (California, I am assuming) to be rechromed. I asked about getting the stock wheels polished and they said they don't recommend it, 225 a wheel to chrome the Stock rims... They had 2001 2002 Acura Stock wheels in stock and for sale for 200 a piece...WOW.... If you guys need stock rims because you got a bad one I recommend you call these people... They have been in business for 12 years so far and they are very very helpful.

Make this a STICKY

p.s Thanks to Chikai and Soopa for starting this thread, good stuff for the wheel boys on the board
