So I have four RX-8 Shinka rims, two had minor curb rash when I purchased them and another that I scraped while not paying attention. Curbed the rim and light scraping on one spoke. :(

So as it stands now I have 3 rims with minor damage. All very light scrapes and paint damage. No bent rims or anything like that. They aren't bad as it is but I would like to get them refinished so they are all looking new again. (I have a few items: GV Lip, Mazdaspeed Spoiler, LED Mirrors, Mazdaspeed Grill. That I will be installing, hopefully this summer, and respraying the front end so I want the whole car looking shiny and new :) )

Can anyone recommend a good shop in the Denver-Co Springs are. I live in the Springs and work up in Denver. I have a second set of rims/tires so I can drop them off where ever. Just looking for a shop that does good work and reasonable prices. I've never had any rim repair work done so I don't really know what to expect as far as pricing.

Just from Googling:

http://www.woodyswheelworks.com/
They appear to only do wire spoke wheels, but have seen some reviews on all sorts of car forums for them.

I've heard these guys take cash only but come highly recommended.

I would PM FreezingCX7 and ask him about a guy that refinished his rim. He had done some pretty bad damage to his back rim a few weeks ago and someone at his work recommended this guy, doesn't even look like there was damage and I believe he said it was like $60 for that one rim, they came to his work and did it right there... Dont quote me on any of this, but I believe this is true.. lol..
