pomps tire did my 92 z wheels again. think it was like 90 bucks a wheel. they fix all the curb rash, paint them and clear them again. lifetime warranty on paint and clear coat too. they did an excellent job.

Chicago Rim and Tire? It hink that is right used to some of our work on Jaguar rims...

Also we used Trans Wheel, sent alot of stuff to them, they did some good work. Basically you pay according to the amount of damage. Try looking them up and seeing if u can find a number.

they have two locations. one just off 80 in hammond IN right next to VSI or what ever the parts warehouse place is called. the other is in channahon IL (I think that is how you spell it) that is where I brought mine too. not sure if they do the repair at the IN. facility but I bet if you brought them there they would take them to the other one in IL.

There is a place by me that deals with redone rims. That is where I got my one GTA wheel, though I wouldn't recomend that method as they charge about $200 if they have to send a rim out to you.

Transwheel does really good work though, and they have very fast shipping.
