I had this feeling also, but $125 dollars later, and I can't even tell where it was....

I used a service(there a franchise chain) that came to the house in a truck and 3 hours later... fixed. Couldn't drive the car for 2 days and wash for 3 weeks, but that's it.

By coincidence, an hour after reading your post, I was behind a pickup in Fort Myers that had signs that said, "Wheel Trim" and "We come to you to repair your aluminum wheels" Their # is, 866-816-1861. I know nothing about them but it seems to be a franchise type business.

I used a company Omni Wheel Repair (I believe that was the name) they are down the road from Good Roads in North Lauderdale (Commercial Blvd.). Best be it to call Good Roads (Call information and ask for Good Roads in Ft. Lauderdale) and ask who they used for wheel repair.

PS-They fixed my curbed HRE and it was like it was never there and cost was around 125-150

Thanks for all the replies gentlemen. I'm going to make some calls tomorrow. I like the idea of having them come to me even if it costs a few bucks more.

I just curbed my wheel today. I was pulling into the alley behind my building and a van squeezed me into a tight corner and kept cutting my space off. Next thing I knew I rubbed up on the curb. Worst sound ever, I can stand the nails on the blackboard more then the wheels on the curb.
