    Wheel/Rim Straightening Locally?

    Hey guys, I picked up some 19" Style 65s reps for my e39 and one of the rear wheels is out of round and might have a minimal wobble. Could anyone recommend a shop locally that could straighten the wheel for a decent price? I want the rim trued. Let me know guys. Thanks!

          Don't always trust yelp but:

          I've had wheel curb rash repaired and lip straightened (BBS LM and Volk GTP, respectively) at Magmasters in Santa Ana with good results. Not the best (they lost my Volk valve cap) but reasonable prices. Just remove all accessories (center cap, valve cap, etc)!!

          For a TRM C1, getting a quote wouldn't hurt but I'd probably end up buying a new one for peace of mind.

            Thanks guys. I wish I looked at this earlier before I headed out. I ended up bringing my rim to LAX wheels. I'll see how it goes. Can anyone chime in on LAX wheels other than the length it took for them to get their rims back?

                Look up a shop called Mag Masters. They are in orange county off the 55. They do the best work I've ever seen when it comes to wheel finishing and polishing.

                  Yes, they do excellent work! We've had a few sets done there.

                  Wheels America is another option.
