They are the best when it comes to repairing your high end wheels. They specialize in 1-, 2- or 3 piece wheels. They can do colored rims too... like gunmetal. I personally recommend them.

Only problem is that they cannot clear coat the wheels back to factory standards. Tru Wheel seems really good. They recognized my wheels were Volks immediately and sounded like they had repaired their share of Volks. Unfortunately they told me they could not clear coat the wheels back to the factory look and therefore would look different in finish from the wheels that were not retouched. I had SF Challenges with dents around the lip....just fyi...they actually told me to just live with it and wait a few years when my wheels really got messed up....

If anyone knows a place that can fix Volks w/ lip close to factory standards w/ clear coating and all, please let me know!

thanks for the info, my rims are the factory track rims. Maybe i should wait a few years when the price comes down.(the dealer quoted me $900 per wheel for replacement). My other option is to have all 4 wheels repainted(kinda fancy all black rims in my Chrome Silver Track) or buy new rims.

e46fanatic: Yes, they do chromies too. Give 'em a call.

tekkensux: They can't/don't clearcoat them??? I was not aware of that. My Ray's Versus SS7 were perfectly restored to my eyes. But this is a while back though.

SHO-TIME: Hmm, yes that is what they told me! I would definitely have done it if they could have fixed it close to factory. It's the lip that they cannot clearcoat to factory, not the spokes of the wheel.

Also I was suprised. My damage is on the outside edge on the lip (curb rash area). They told me they would need to reforge the entire 3" lip to fix the wheel....I thought they coulda just touched up the edge of the lip to fix it.....
