Default Wheel repair shop recommendations?

Further to my "buying parts over the internet thread", I though I'd take some advice and at least investigate the possibility of repairing the wheels.

Any recommendations?

Calgary Wheel Repair in the NE is usually the place people take wheels to be buffed or dents from accidents or curbs. You should powercoat them, that would be sweet, gunmetal and red

I've had experience with Alberta Wheel repair. They are located off Edmonton trail near the Golden Acres Garden Centre. Sorry don't have a phone number at hand, but I can attest to their quality of work.

Thanks guys, I will check them out.

Gunmetal isn't for me. I like a mostly stock look.

Just talked to that fella who used to work in the business. It's Alberta Wheel Repair and he highly recommends them. Apparently they do some pretty high end work.

Tim,

Yeah...that is fairly expensive. Does that include paint and re-polishing of the spokes? Would you consider parting with them? I know I don't drive my car enough to warrant purchasing another set of wheels and tires, but I was planning on putting the ones that are on the car right now away to avoid pitting/weathering etc.
