Straightening bent rims

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

Jon,

There is a place down the street from the Neshanamy Mall in Penndel,
PA (Bucks County) that did 4 GTI rims for me back in the day. $100 to
repair all four.

However, my friend Steve took four of his M3 rims there this past
winter and they charged $150.00 each to do almost nothing to them.
They looked just as bad coming out as they did going in, and they
refused to give him any break, and insisted on the full $600 + 6%
sales tax (even when paying cash) to get the wheels back.

funny! all 4 of my BBS RX's are bent also. damn soft rims. 
 
i'd like to get mine rerounded, if you will, sometime also. but i
think it is almost not worth it for these rims. sorry to say. i love
them so if you find a good deal lemme know how that goes for you and
how much you paid

I have several BBS RX's that are slightly bent plus I have a couple
that are straight but the finish is shot.
Instead of throwing them away I'd like to get them straightened and
refinished in a metallic grey to install on my black 16V.
Can anybody recommend a place that can not only straighten the rim for
less than a new one costs, but can also refinish them? Specifically I
want them refinished so they look like new on both the outside and
inside of the rim.
Any suggestions??

Thanks
Dan
