Exclamation Wheel/Rim Repair Shop

hey guys...i need some help looking for a shop where i can get the inner lip of one of my rims repaired due to 2 bents that are letting out the air of my rear right tire. i checked the tire and there are no holes to indicate its just a regular "flat tire" problem. i really don't know how it happen! i've must hit a pot hole. on my way home from work i just started hearing some "thumping" so i checked the tires and found out a tire was seeping air. so right now my Z is out of commission! ha!ha!ha! i'm gonna have to start riding my R6 now! oh well...i'm be saving some gas money for the next few days! SO PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP! i live on the southeast side of houston in Pasadena. holla if you know of a shop!thanks!

I am too good at doing a "holla," but I know a good place to get a wheel fixed.

Not to sound like a douche, but how is that any closer? In fact, with a little help from Mapquest, your spot is about a mile FARTHER from him.

When I had my Track Z, the dealership screwed up some of the wheels and sent it to Wheels America to repair it. They could never get the finish on the repaired wheel to match to the original finish.

Padron,
wow....what a weird coincidence.
I was just up that way a few days ago, getting a new windshield in my Astro Van and I drove by that shop. I don't live anywhere even CLOSE to there, and haven't been up that way in probably 5yrs. ....weird !

It does look like a very professional shop.
Did they do you a good job?
Good to know places like that, for whenever other people need this type of service...not that I would EVER do anything like that.
Thanks for the info,
