Default Detroit area wheel repair shop? anyone?

I curbed the front driver side of my three-piece iForged Aeros. The scratches are not very deep, but very obvious to my eye.

I found a couple repair place thru online search:
located in Santa Clara, CA
located in Dallas, TX
If I use these places, I get hit with Shipping and Handling($25/wheel), if I ship two wheels out, it adds up! Can anyone suggest a local wheel repair shop? Also, anyone had experience with the above two shops mentioned?

Thanks in advance!
Mickey

There is a place in Ferndale, I can't remember the name but everyone says they do good work. It's on woodward north of 9 Mile on the West side of woodward. The place is huge, can't miss it.

Mickey, your not driving the car enough. That is why you ran into a curb. Get it out there and let it run.

Yeah, I was there not for the wheel scratch issue. Since I curbed the iForged, I can't repair the scratch if it's on the vehicle, so I decide to swap the OEM 17"s back on, while putting the last wheel back on, the passenger-rear one, I stripped and broke both of the Nissan Lock Nut and the Master Key.

I was hoping D.T. can remove that stripped lock nut, but no luck. However, Chris was very helpful, he had me pull up to an empty bay and helped me out personally, while there were other people waiting in line. That was very very cool of him.

I took this problem to Dick Scott, and they couldn't get that stripped lock nut off either, they suggested to "cut/destroy the wheel" to remove that lock nut. Now I'm glad it's the OEM wheel instead of the iForged that is currently on the car.

I am going to try few other alternatives to remove that stripped lock nuts. I think it's rediculous for Dick Scott to suggest that, but again, they don't specialize in wheel/tire repair.

Mickey, your not driving the car enough. That is why you ran into a curb. Get it out there and let it run.
Mike, yeah, I don't drive the Z enough, I find the Z quite uncomfortable as a commuter, so the only time I really drive the Z is on weekends, to show it off as pretty toy, you know.
