Default Do You Need Wheels Fixed, Polished Read!!!!!

My brother had Three bent ARO FIKSE's. My brother met a Very nice and professional gentleman. He not only repaired and perfectly balanced the wheels back to specs, he professionally poslished them for my brother. Fikse wanted $650 to repair them and Wheels Technology said they could not repair the wheel. Frank has over 30 yrs of experience. I'm sending him my FM5's from Texas to San Diego because of his awesome prices. He specializes in bent and broken wheels and Polsihing. Frank is going to Polish my wheels. Botton Line is he saved my brother $2k in wheels replacements.
Here is an example of the LT1 Alternator bracket that he polished for my brother T/A
His info is
