anyone know of a decent wheel repair shop in the area?

and what's a decent price to pay to have a rim straightened/re-chromed... $100? $150?

my front right wheel has a slow leak and is most likely due to a small chunk of curb rash... granted I got a small air compressor and fill it everytime it's low(which is pretty much every couple of days) it's kind of getting annoying.

Also I'm at a bind as to whether I wanna put the money into getting the 95-96 Stealth replicas OR 95+ VR4 replicas from wheelsandcaps.com... I guess they're on special for 3si members for $850/set and I can probably still 245/40/ZR18 ContiEXTREME contacts for $520/set from DiscountTire or TireRack...

the issue w/ the current wheels(that I got on an even trade from Cameron for my stockers) is... 1) the positive offset has led to small cracks on my front fenders AND could possibly be doin damage to my front axles, 2) it has the "universal" bolt pattern that is kind of annoying to line-up when I have to re-install the wheels.

Looked 'em up and they're $350/ea new and supposedly these are a "fluke" 17x8.5 as they're only supposed to come in 7.5(measured the rim and they are definitely 8.5 and fit w/o spacers), so I'm wondering if I upgraded if I could still get a couple hundred out of 'em since the tires still have about 10-15k on them(fronts are 90-95% and rears are probably 60%)

Are you sure you just didn't get crap in the bead and its needs to be cleaned out? Ive had that happen before.
