Rim Repair?
Long Story Short, I went to get a wheel/tire balance and I was informed that one of my wheels were slightly bent.
Does anyone have the #/location of a place who does rim repair at a reasonable price. I would prefer the VA area if possible. Thanks.

Ok here is the update,
I took my wheel to National Wheel repair today and they took off the tire/wheel and found that I have 2 bends in the wheel and they are on opposite sides. One bend is right above the spoke and the other is on the back end.
They inspected and told me that it was a risk to touch because the wheel looked like it had been "stressed" enough and if they pulled on it, that it might start to leak air while I am driving and I would have to refill it every 30-45min.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them. The only other option I have is to order a new wheel. Does anyone know of any other options that might be available to me before I go down that route?

Well my final decision after looking at everything I could do is to basically order a new wheel. It should be here in about 1 wk. Then just to shut Ali G up, I guess I will race him
