Default Place that fixes rims in Chicago?

I have a couple of bent rims, and trying to get them fixed. Anyone know of a shop in Chicago or close that can fix them? I need two SS rims. SLP wants $303 plus shipping for each chrome SS rim, so I'd rather get my bent ones fixed if possible. I found some replicas on Ebay but they only sell them as a set of four. If anyone knows of a shop it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would you happen to have their number? I clicked on that link, and it brings me to a some type of sponsored links for rims, but not for that place that you mentioned. I searched for Wheels of American on yahoo and looked in the Yellow pages but can't be found..

How much will they charge to widen your rims? I called them up and the guy I talked to said they have a flat rate of $130 to repair any rim, but if its chrome and they end up heating up, its $250 because they have to rechrome it. They said they wont know if they have to rechrome it till after they repair it, and then they would call me to let me know. To me to pay $250 to have a stock rim fixed isn't worth it. I will consider them to widen my rims so I have 17x11's for next season.

well to widen the wheel you need the exact wheel or diameter wheel, like for mine i need 4 17" TT2's they don't have to have the same offset they need the same diameter and it runs $150 a wheel, if they have to find you a donar wheel then it's $200 a wheel.
