Union Rim Repair is one of the best, had my Acura wheels done there, looked like brand new.

Went to carcones for a quote and asked them to spin my wheel to see if it was bent. Took the wheel, would not let me see and came back a few mins later and said yep bent and quickly quoted me a price and acted aggravated. Something didn't feel right so...

Directly took the same wheel to union and watched them spend 15 minutes trying to get the hubcap off as it was stuck like a bugger (recall it was just supposedly removed when spun at the first shop...hmmm), then spun it in front of me and it was perfectly true...will leave it there.

Metal coaters in malton - spent a great deal of time with me and stand up guys (Taj and Dhan).

Do any of these places refinish 3 piece wheels? I take it they would need to take the wheels apart to refinish then properly put them back together.

I might want to refinish a set of 3 piece Forgelines I recently got so looking for a place that can do that and I want to make sure they can re & re the wheel properly for refinishing.

edit: I sent my wheels to this place last week, today I went to pick them up and I'm impressed. Great place to go to get your wheels repaired/refinished.
