Dinan rim repair - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I currently have a Dinan front rim that was not able to be repaired locally. So I am looking for a repair shop somewhere in the US that does top notch repair work that maybe able to fix this rim. I did a search on this forum and Pacific Rim on the West Coast may be an option and wheel collision on the East Coast may be an option. So I am asking the board for some help to guide me in the right direction

.

Appreciate the help Ladies and Gents.

Call Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara (South SF Bay) in CA. They do all of Dinan's wheel work for Steve Dinan's three Dinan shops in the area.
They are also experts in refinishing OEM shadow chrome.

James,

I assume you have tried Jerry (or his son Ken) at Alloy Wheel Repair. They did a great job on one of my chrome shadow wheels.

Otherwise, the shop referenced above seems the best for your situation.

M5at, Thanks for the information, I will check out Wheel techniques since if Steve Dinan uses them....they must be very good.

Kevin,
Thanks for the heads up. I called two indy shops in town and never recieved a recommendation for Alloy Wheel Repair. I was recommended to Nu Wheel and they are doing a nice job on the other three but the one rim needs more. Thanks again

I would stay away from wheel collision center on the east coast. While the color was a perfect match, the wheel finish is now made of glass and seems to damage just by touching them....

Just had 4 rears refinished by them.
