I love articles like this. I am about 3 months away from starting my own mobile alloy wheel repair service. The company I currently work for makes tons $$$. We service dealerships @ $65-$100 per wheel and private customers @ $125-$150 per wheel. I repair approx. 15 wheels a day. I have all the equipment and paint. All I need now is a work truck. Starting out will be rough but once accounts are set up the return will be huge. The only worry I have are the tree huggers from CARB.
