Rim Repair in NJ?

I have 17" Billet Specialties wheels. One or two are bent. I know 17's are small now lol but I like them and want to get them fixed. Anyone know a good place in NJ that will fix them and fix them right?

Re: Rim Repair in NJ?

i asked a rim repair place and said the chances of repairing a billet wheel and having it not crack are high

Re: Rim Repair in NJ?

So no go on the Billet repair? I mean one is badly bent, so bad i can see the flat spot and of course feel it on the road. But holds air. And back to the important topic, what did you do with the slices? :-)

Re: Rim Repair in NJ?

I just dont want to bring them to a place, and get them back ruined or worse than when I dropped them off. I want them done correctly and I dont mind paying $$$, as long as they are done correctly.

Re: Rim Repair in NJ?

I talked to Billet Specialties and they cant do it. Since they dont produce the Pamona anymore so they cant rehoop it.

Billet Specialties told me they cant do my wheels. They stopped producing my wheels years ago and dont have the barrell to re-hoop them.
