Wheels straightened or "rerimmed"
Anybody ever had their alloy wheels straightened, or "rerimmed". Seems like all 4 of my wheels are banged up a couple worse than the rest,--a buddy wa telling me about going somewhere to get them straightned, and he was saying they can actually remove the outer rim and replace them if necessary.
the 2 places I found in the local phone book in Houston are closed on Saturday, so I can't call and get info.
I was wondring if anybody ever had this done--about costs--is it worth it, quality wise and appearance wise.

I had a dent in one of mine from hitting a curb. There was a place in PA I sent it that did a good job. Got the dent out and got rid on the scrapped up edge all the way around the rim. I was about $140. Sorry I don't remember the name of the place.
