AVOID Al's Hubcaps at all costs. I brought them my OEM 313 wheel (335IS) to have them repair a hairline crack, 2 days later the wheel had formed a handful of more cracks because he machined the inner barrel of the wheel down too much.

I went to Proformance in New Rochelle, NY to have them point out everything that Al's Hubcaps did wrong. I strongly recommend Proformance.

Definitely worth the drive for you!

RCT in College Point, Queens facilitates wheel repair services, too. Had my wheels powerdercoated and blemishes repaired through them as well as had friends fix some banged up rims.

I'm the friend. Lol. I was told none of my rims were circular and had some slight bends. Now they look perfect.

+1 for RCT

I know it's not in Queens but it's not far from Queens. Place is called "wheel fix it" they're in Freeport off of merrick road, across the street from Hassel BMW's service center. I've brought a number of wheels to them to have repaired. They do good quality work and I think it's $120-$125 per wheel (bends, curbrash, even powder coating I believe is included in that price). They might be worth a phone call.

Really? I've only heard the best about Al's hubcaps they may be expensive but he knows his shit. He doesn't the best attitude either, but whatever.

Take his advice! Last year I brought my style 190 performance wheels to Al's hubcaps and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. I brought them in for hairline Cracks bends and curb rash... Cracks weren't repaired correctly, they recracked shortly after and they couldn't get the paint right on my spokes, they painted them 4 times and all said and done the paint was bubbled, rough around the edges, and paint was smeared over the machined finish on the front of the spokes. Avoid Al's at all cost, never again will I make that mistake.
