I found out one of my draglites is a little bent and need it fixed. I also need the lug nut area fixed a little and then get them professionally polished. I don't wanna go much past greenville, but want a good job done. Just let me know here or through PM please. Thanks.

Depends on if you want to travel or not, but there is a shop here in Boiling Springs called Rim Works that repairs rims.

Ok, I found them on google. Apparently there is more than one as I got that it was in Spartanburg, Boiling springs, and Myrtle Beach. Maybe I can find an address.

Are they any good?

Ok, found both of those and they're both about the same distance from me. I guess I'll call them monday, does anybody have any experience with either of these or any experience getting wheels fixed? I don't know much about it, and want it to be worth getting repaired instead of just buying a new wheel.

I believe having them to straighten a wheel and machine polish them both will probably exceed the value of the two wheels to be honest, but you never know until you try.

Ok, thank you. Just the one needs to be straightened but both need to be polished. I want them to look like new again, but my drill isn't giving me that. Does anybody know anybody that polishes wheels and gets small problems out?

Wheel wizard can straighten and repair rims and they are good. They must be good because other rim repair places bring stuff to them.

Well, I checked on wheel wizard's site and it is like 180 a wheel to straighten and refinish. Not sure how much just the refinish would be on the other, but that is pretty much what i'm asking for the both of them. Anybody want to buy them cheap? The one that is bent is only noticeable at low speeds, then kicks back in around 55-60mph. Its not really really bad. Just let me know if anybody wants them, basically make an offer.
