I picked up a 370z from Tate Dodge in Glen Burnie yesterday for a really good deal due to cosmetic damage on all 4 wheels and a few scratches here and there. I searched the mid-atlantic forum looking for a wheel repair place but no particular shop was mentioned. Does anyone have experience with any shops in the local area? Some of the shops I've found on the internet include:

Ye Olde Wheel Shop
Wheel Worx
Rim Doctor
Wheel Doctor
AWRS Wheel Repair

I am looking to get a set of factory 2009 19" sport wheels restored. The wheels look to be round but every one has a little curb rash and minor scratches. Here's what I'm looking for in the job:
-dismount the tires from the wheels
- check all 4 wheels for trueness, straightness, and runoff and fix if needed
- repair the blemishes (including any wheel rash, bends if any, scratches, makrings etc...)
- refinish the alloys in the factory color
- clearcoat, buff, and make the wheels essentially new again
- if possible mount and road force balance the tires back on the wheels

Does anyone have any recommendations?
