I've have happy with the work performed by http://www.wheeltechniques.com on one of my wheels a few years back.

Thanks, that's one of the places I've found while searching...

There were also these in CA:
http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/
http://www.magmasters.com/

and out of CA:
http://www.precisionwheels.com/
http://www.wheelcollision.com/

any other recommendations appreciated!

http://www.wheels-america.com

located in Union City.

Drop off day 1, pick up Day 2. I've had 3 or 4 different rims fixed there and they do good work.

Its okay, you can admit to curbing your wheels. Self denial is just so hard these days

Nay.

So far the best pricing is Wheels-america.com at $109 a wheel, thanks Yu!

I heard there were mobile guys who do this as well... I know of a guy in L.A. but are there any in the Bay Area?

actually, if you tell them you saw a coupon in the back of Motor Trend or R&T, they will list the price at $99/wheel!!

You can always UPS the wheels to and fro if you want to pay the shipping and avoid the two trips there. many local tire shops use them.
