Default Suggestions on where to go for wheel repair?

I see both Millenium, alloy wheel va, and rim doctor come reccomended. Can anyone give me some feedback/experience. Just bent a rim The rims are coming off now anyway, so I have time for opinions. Anyone with a good experience or where NOT to take it? Here is a pick of the damage, and I will also be taking one in for some curbrash (Thanks to the gf )




edit: I am in VB, so somewhere within the 7 deadly cities is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

rim doctor is no more from what I know. I went to the rim shop right next millenium and they quoted me a decent price on some work.

What kind of wheels? Might be cheaper to just buy a replacement.

*edit* and please don't ever speak or type "seven deadly cities" again

Yeah, that seven cities quip was just bad sarcasm. Rims are 18" SSR professors, so it woudl be more cost effective to repair. Dent isnt all that bad, so looks like it can be fixed. Thanks for any feedback on personal experiences with particular shops, since I wont be repairing it immediately. Thanks for the info so far.

Oh yeah, those arent cheap. You can just probably knock it back straight yourself, if it isn't too bad.

I wouldn't go to Millenium they do not do good wheel work; this opinion is from my own experience.

I would go to Craft Repair in Hampton. They work till they get it right, no buts about it. Plus 1 year wwarranty.
