GTA Wheel Repair
Ok guys I need some links, phone #'s, locations, etc of places I can get a set of GTA wheels repaired. Prefer areas near the tri state area (NY, NJ, CT) but anywhere works just as well. Not worried about refinishing them, need to get them straightened as one lip is bent, and another has a slight egg to the rim.

Re: GTA Wheel Repair
I have 2 sets of the GTA rims for this reason, I once bent the lip on my rim, took it to a Wheel Shop that had been est for 20+ yrs. The owner told me "since the rims are aluminum, it would be very hard to heat them up and bend them back into shape with out cracking or braking them. Aluminum isn't like steel, you can't hammer dents out or bend it back into shape without taking a big chance of the rim cracking"- Shop Owner.
I don't really know if he was BS-ing me or not, but this is when I bought a new rim to replace the bent one and picked up a 2nd set as back up!
