Firehawk wheel repair
I picked up some chrome 17" FIREBIRD Firehawks for cheap recently, but at least one has a gash in it and will need to be repaired - all of them have some form of curb rash. For all I know one or more may be bent slightly too (not visibly). All are holding air, but as usual the chrome is peeling on the ID (common for Firehawks).
Are there any good shops in southern California that can repair some chrome Firehawks to look just like new? I'd imagine its harder to get Firehawks looking like new because of the smooth curves on the outside edge...
EDIT: Fixed.

How much did they charge ya and how bad were they compared to the ones you sold me?
The wheels have been off the car for a while. I'm kinda worried about that one wheel with the chip that's about to fall off... LOL.

They were about the same except two were bent from pot holes in NYC. Those are straight, the worst rash on those was in a parking lot on miramar due to a foggy windshield and an impatient driver at 5 mph so I am sure they are straight. I ended up paying 600.00. All in all well worth it. The lip has a small piece gone but it is fine. I have had them well over 100 quite a few times.
