Decent Wheel repair services?

Anyone know of a decent company to refurb wheels near Norwich?
I've a couple with 'bends' on the 'inner side'
(Can only be seen with the wheels off) Guess they want straightening? Then some laquer damage and scratches

Hi Stan they are Land Rover wheels as far as I'm aware they have the emblem 'cast' on the inside
Would you know If the wheels are ever the same after being straightened, will they be more likely to crack bend etc??
There's a few decent sets for sale at the moment just wondered if it's 'better the devil you know' rather than buying the unknown 🤔

I had a LR wheel straightened by "the wheel specialist" near me. Hey did a decent job, think it got sent out, I only use it as a spare on he disco though. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The devil you know is a slightly bent wheel - by the time you've had it bent back, its a weaker one.

I'd buy decent second hand wheels over repairing a bent one - though I guess you never really know whether the ones you're buying have been straightened..... Confused

Nothing wrong at all with having a bent wheel made to run true again as long as its done properly

Thanks as always for all the input, I'll have a google for a local wheel repair shop and see what I can find out
