The only place I trust in BR is Rim Pros on Airline near Pecue Lane. They take care of most car dealerships in town, Lafayette, and NOLA. Great work.

ETA Phone #755-6624

I've had to have 2 wheels repaired and they have never come back truly round. Always had a slight vibration and I ended up just buying new wheels and keeping the others for spares.

My damage is on the inside only so I am not concerned about cosmetics- just the true round of the wheel and associated road force.

This

My wife has curb checked all four of the wheels on her car. That in itself isn't enough to bother me, but the coating is starting to come off..looks like brake dust but doesn't come clean.

One guy at the car shop said he could re-paint and repair them for $50 a wheel, but I'm not sure I would trust this guy to cut my lawn.
