Default Any Wheel repair shops in the Seattle area?

I am looking into buying these wheels: They look awesome:

http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...t=100_0153.jpg

As you can see, there is curb rash on most of them lol. But I am getting a deal, with the new tires on them and all. I just wanted to make sure There were people in our area and how much it might cost since it is black chrome.

I may let the more minor ones go, but as you can see in one of the pics that one wheel got it bad.

Thanks.

Foster's Wheel Service in Seattle was the only place I ever had heard recommended, although I have not used them myself. I dunno if they do black chrome.

Yeah that is the thing. I'm hoping someone around here knows of some people that can do it. Even with the curb rash, the tires themselves are worth more than what eh wants for the package.

If anyone knows of a place that can repair the curb rash please let me know! Thanks!

Didn't the guy with the LS7 Monte have his wheels done somewhere local? I just remember his last name begins with a B. It may even just be his screenname but the second part begins with a B. I know he had some Momo's made wider if I remember correctly. If not I apoligize in advance.

Call phil smart mercedes and find out who they use. I used to know but can't remember. They always used the same guy when I worked there and he did an awesome job.

I had a few wheels done at Dependable Wheel Repair in Renton. They did a great job and price wasn't half bad either. Their website is easy to find w/ a Google search. Prices and contact info is there.

I used these guys last spring to take curb rash and a couple dents out of my 20 inch TT2's. http://www.dependablewheel.com/About_Us.html? . I believe the owner is related to Fosters Dependable Wheel owner somehow.
