I have a set of avant garde 310s which I had powder coated last year. A few months ago I got a flat and one of the rear wheels got a bend on the inside of the wheel. The wheel is not cracked. Only bent a bit. The sts store I was towed to said there was a leak at the bend. Does anyone know of a shop that can fix the bend near Bristol pa, Levittown pa, Philly area? Please let me know.

I have used Kwiksilver in Warminster and they did a good job fixing a bend for me. They are right near 263 and County Line Rd:Kwiksilverpa.com

I have no affiliation with them. They just happen to be close to my office and I gave them a try.

I've also used quicksilver. They did a good job. They were a bit pricey for repairing cracks and refinishing -$200. Funny part is before I had a chance to even mount a tire - I broke another rim. I figured out the hard way that replica 19s are too harsh for PA roads. And this was last year before the minefields we have now.

Yeaaaaaah. I broke a Xenon hitting a pothole getting onto 76 last fall, which BMW fixed under warranty. Last week I really bent a rim on 476 by exit 13 (don't get in the right lane). I'll just order another one, it was only a Sport Edition A7 for my winters, since I just moved from Vermont.

Minefields indeed.

These guys did a wheel repair on my Acura. They did a great job and they come to your place. Cost about $125 or thereabouts:

I second alloy wheel repair. James, the guy who covers Philly has repaired my Advance bend after a pothole incident. Great work and he comes to you.

So, when I bent the rim, I was on my way to the body shop to have accident damage fixed. Because State Farm was footing a decent bill, I'm fairly certain my alignment check and wheel mounting were tossed in as freebies. Classic Coachwork in Wayne is pretty amazing. They did a fantastic job, and were on the ball any time I had to call about something.

For bonus hilarity, I had spray plastidipped my (corroding) silver wheels black. Five Vermont winters will do that. TireRack only had the black version in stock. Guess I don't have to be assed to take it off and paint it!
