Default Help Please!!! Scratched my wheels and wanna repair them!!!

Hello guys,
My name is Allen with a yellow 09 sport.
I recently scratch my wheels a little bit, not too big but ugly enough to bother me.
So I am wondering if you guys know any place that do good jobs on wheel repair.
I heard about a place call MEMORYFAB in Union CIty is pretty good at it.
Any one have any experiences over there?
Or any other places you guys recommend?
Thanks for help.

What did it cost you to fix rash? How bad was it and was it more than one wheel?

Thank you guys.
Do you mind tell me how much it cost you to repair one?

rims 2 go...yelp

NM, just checked, I guess the guy is pretty small...but he is mobile, matches paint and sprays on site...very good. If you call Panel Craft in Berkeley the owner can hook you up. Tell him the guy with the white NISMO sent you...

$150 per rim...around

Thanks, man.
I just checked out the link you gave me.
They either get 5 out of 5 or 1 out of 5.
some say they are the best and some say they are pretty bad.
I am confused....

yeah...

try and evaluate each review, too. some of the 4-5 star reviews mention the same problems.. slow response, bad customer service, etc.

i also gave more weight to the reviewers who sounded like they knew about cars. (e.g., the 1 star reviewer who was getting work done to mag blue volks vs. the 1 sentence 5 star review by some chick.)

also, unfortunately it looks like theyve got way more 1 star reviews in the past two years than 5 stars.

i don't have any personal experience with them, but i did decide against trying them out based on their v. poor reviews. only the undisputed best people will touch my ride!

I am with you man.
I do not want anybody but the best work on my ride.
I am so worried and the scratches on the wheel are denifinately bothering me.

Ssup Andy,
so which wheels did you bring to them. the sport rays? or the blacks you have on your white ttz?
How much did it cost you per wheel?
And how is the paint job they did on the wheel? can you tell any color differences between the original and the repaired?
