Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist 716- 818-4216 Ask for Tony Paglia he can do all sorts of repairs on all different rims. I had work done on my wheels a couple summers ago. I had to dig up his business card. He works on site, because he works alot with dealerships. He is at the mercedes dealership on main street alot. Prices were very reasonable ---

There is a way to repair aluminum wheels when they are bent, The Russians case was a little different as his wheel had material ripped off. I think Fry the wheelguy does it downtown, best bet is to call fox tire too. They might run into that kind of thing more. ---
