Someone is going to say Alberta Wheel repair, and I am going to reply, don't bother taking it them unless you want your rims MIA for 3 months, and not really refinished... Just thought I would cover it all in one post....Maxt

I second that. Took them forever and my rim still could not be balanced. (It was bent)

i took one of my rims to alberta wheel repair on my parents car. the lip was worn down and bent, but the managed to fix it.

i thought it was a good job untill i noticed that the tire still keeps on leaking. might just be that the tire wasn't mounted properly though.

I got a set of alluminum rims polished. Paid good money only to get "brushed" alluminum not polished and his reply was it was too much work to 'fully' polish them. Then to make matters worse after couple months the clearcoat stared peeling. He redid them for free but now they are peeling again

Unfortunately they are the only ones in Calgary. Theres another place that says they do them but they just send them to Alberta Wheel. Can't remember the name.....

hmm... wish they had some competition! Anywhere in Leth or Red Deer or Edmonton that does them?
