i have a set of alloy wheels i picked up for my e46 (18" m3 reps), but they need a little work. theres a couple small flatspots on the inside lip, however im not sure if theyre problematic enough that they wont balance well. i do alot of highway driving so i dont want to deal with any vibrations. anyone have recommendations on where to go? also curious about refinishing, paint or powdercoat(heard powdercoating can make the alloy wheels weak from the heat?), and where to go? maybe someone that does both straightening and refinishing? thanks. looking to stay local WNY for this. ---

I’ve got a local guy. When I get in tomorrow, I’ll post his information. And no, this is NOT the guy who used to work out of the Mercedes dealer. I wouldn’t trust him to straighten a $5 14" steel wheel. ---
