Guys,

I have a set of CSL wheels (real ones, with the 8.5" wide fronts) for my E46M3 that need to be repaired (they are bent) and refinished. Previous owner of my car lived in DC and must have aimed for potholes and curbs.

In any case, I want to get the wheels straightened and refinished, and then get some tires mounted on them so I can put them on the car.

Does anyone have any semi-local recommendations (or alternatively, not local recommendations) for getting this done? I have been to Sports Car Tire in Wilmington DE, and may take them there, but just checking to see if there are other local alternatives that I can check into, and also any idea of rough pricing for wheel repair/refinish would be helpful.

Thanks,
Steve

Do they sell and install tires in addition to repairing/refinishing wheels?

I will repeat the question:

Does Ye Ole Wheel Shop also sell/mount/balance tires after they fix your rimzzzzz?
