Really depends what you want done. You should stop there and they'll quote you once they take a look at the rim.

Hey Jose! Both recommendations are great places. Have had people I've known gone to both coming out satisfied. It's all about which will offer you the best deal. Recently, a buddy and teammate just bought a used set of NT03s and had them repaired (rashes on all 4 + bent on 2) and powdered for $500 at wheeltechniques.

wheel techniques is okay they sometimes have issues getting the wheels back to you by the time frame they promise. I had a set there for over 4 weeks before they finally finished them. They promised me 5 business days. Also they had trouble following my directions. I originally wanted matte black centers and gloss black lips, but they ended up powdercoating the whole wheel gloss black... i didnt want to wait another 4 weeks so I just took them home... overall the job was done pretty well. there were areas where it looked like they didn't completely strip some of the old powder coat. It wasn't that noticeable but Im anal so i noticed...

I used wheel techniques a few times and cant say I was impressed. I had a wheel with a dent in the middle and some outter bends. I took it to them and they said that they could repair all the outter bends and the one in the middle and charged me for it. When I got the rim back the dent in the middle was still there but now they said "you can't fix dents on the inner barrel"

I wouldn't have cared but that is going back on your word. Which I didn't like.

I used California Wheels in Campbell. They repaired my forged 17x7 rims for $100 even. Had a minor dent (no cracks) on the outside lip, and they fixed it perfectly.
