Post Who can repair wheels in Orlando?

I know I saw a post about his a while back but couldn't find it in the search.

I'm thinking about buying some 16X8 aluminum wheels for autocrossing the new SS. I've found a set for a good price but one has some curb damsge. From what the guy says it got bent under and when he took it to tire shop. They tried to bend it back out and cracked the lip. He says it just needs to be welded back in place before a tire can be mounted again. I don't need it to be perfectly round since it probably wont see speeds over 40 MPH.

Also if anybody knows of any 16X8's floating around let me know. I don't care if they're Camaro or Firebird wheels. Just no salad shooters (unless they're free).

Cool

Never mind!

Turbax
407/648-8118

$150 to fix a wheel. Too much for me. Especially when I was buying a whole set for $100.

If anyone has a 5 star aluminum Camaro wheel from around 1998 or so let me know.
