Wheel Repair in St. Louis

I have a wheel with a slightly bent lip. I removed the wheel and checked it inside and out, and the wheel itself seems perfectly true, and is not leaking air. The bend is limited to just the lip, so it's just cosmetic damage.

Any recommendations for getting it repaired in St. Louis area?

Not sure if this is going to be a clean refferal...

Several years ago I had a Accord coupe that got in a fender bender. For some insane insurance reason I had it done at Weber Chevrolet in Creve Coeur. They did a incredibly lousy paint job but the scratched up alloy wheel they repaired was excellent. They told me they outsourced, to "who" I did not ask. Maybe give Weber's body shop a call?

Please share the result. Sadly I'll probably need a good wheel repair outfit....

Thanks for the suggestion, but whoever Weber used then may not be the same they use now. I'm also going to ask MINI of St. Louis service.

Are you talking at the intersection with 70, West of that Don Schunk dealership, about 1 mi West of intersection with Lindbergh?

Shook a memory module that maybe the joint the did up my Accord via Weber.

Can't remember the name either........

Calling Rick or Dave at MINI sounds like your best shot
