Need Wheel Repaired

I have a Weds Sport 16 inch wheel that needs to be repaired.
The inside lip took it hard back in November. Late night, dark, pot hole, Ouch!

Can anyone recommend a place? I already replaced it. Cost me loads in freight from Japan. At this point, I wouldn't mind having an extra if it can be done right. The wheel is a SA70.

It looks to be a dry cleaner, massage place, or car detailer.
I need somebody that specializes in wheel straightening.
Anybody else?

The only recommended wheel repair shop I have heard of is one in MA but I'm sure there are others.
Have you gone on the internet or checked the sports car mags at your libaray. most will give you validated answers to your inquiries to how good they are.
Try TireRack for their recommendation.
And of course, there's the BBB.
But don't expect inexpensive.

a way to start is by checking who the honda dealer would use.. that is if they have somebody.. or go to like a body shop that's good.. and ask who they would contract out too...

U.S. Wheels Remanufacturing in El Cajon, California do great work. I had a set of super advans (not the easiest to fix) straightened, curb rash removed, polished, and painted about 6 months ago.
