Default Alloy Wheel Repair in Dallas/Plano Area?

I curbed a 2 piece wheel on my 08 C6 and I am trying find the best place near Plano to have it repaired.

Any suggestions from people with first hand experience using a local wheel repair shop would be appreciated.
I used Wheel Repair Solutions in Carrollton several years ago and had a TERRIBLE experience.
So we can eliminate that one.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Bill

Star doesn't do their own repair.
They send them out.

Have any of you guys actually used any of these places?
I am looking for an actual reference if possible.
Otherwise it appears that I am the only idiot to have ever curbed a wheel in the Dallas area

Thanks Guys

Bill

There ya go, some personal feedback :-)

I have only "heard" that Wheels America does this work. No real world experience.

I used wheels america . The outside looked pretty good on all 4 of mine but they did a really crappy job of the barrel side. In fact they have developed a pinhole leak on one of their repairs and I'm trying to find someone to fix it. I may have to take it back to them
