Default Need wheel fixed

Hi all....long story, but I swerved at the end of the summer last year to avoid an accident and got some major curb rash on my wheels and tires, do you guys know anyone in the area that will possibly buff and polish my rear passenger wheel for a good price....not sure it will all come out, but beats the cost of replacing it for now! Thanks!

We have used Chicago Wheel in Naperville for wheel repair and refinishing.

I know there were a couple other shops some of the chicago crew have used.

Good Luck!

I was looking for a place a month ago and through all my searching around I found this place to be by far the cheapest around with great service.
