Default Rim shop

Do you guys know of a legit and reputable rim shop that can re-finish minor scratches on the edge of the rims?

Stay away from the shop on the Rock Road near I70. They charged me about $150 per wheel and did what I thought was a horrid job. Their lathe could not follow the outer contour of the wheel properly, and the rim vibrations (occurring during machining) out near the edges were not damped adequately - which resulted in some significant tool marks being visible on the very place that you're trying to repair (from curb damage)

I will find the number, but we've used a guy who is mobile. He's done a few of our wheels which have turned out great. I found him through St. Louis Motorsports (Bentley, Lambo, etc dealer) who use him for their repairs. He'll come to your house, take the wheel off, and then refinish it in his trailer.

Okay I just got done refinishing my wheels at STL wheel solutions. It came out perfect. Before they started working on it I asked if they can match it perfectly and they said about 80%. Well... When they got done the wheel it came out perfect. I would recommend all you guys to this shop if you need your wheels refinish.
