Anyone ever heard of or used Wheel Works in Millersville, MD for wheel repair?

Make sure they match the paint correctly...
Curry's had a "face plant" accident with one of my wheels 3 years ago and sent it to Wheel Works for repair. Unfortunately, the paint they used didn't exactly match the OEM paint. It's close enough that I didn't go thru the PITA of sending it back out again, but sometimes I wish I had because it's not as "bright" as the OEM silver paint.

Do you have their phone number by chance? The tire place is sending directly, and I'd like to speak
to the Wheel Works folks myself, to let them know what kind of car the wheels belong to. Thanks.

Shop is called Wheel Worx, located in Millersville.
Phone # is toll-free: 888-969-7282 or local 410-969-7282. They redid my Avus wheels, lifetime warrantee (if you use their paint). Mine were painted using a fine flake first and were too dull looking. Medium flake matches OE brightness the best IMO. Good guys to deal with....cash only business, however. Ask for Mike.

A recommendation...
Refinish all four to avoid any obvious mismatch. If your original tire shop is covering three, it'll cost $125 to make the fourth match. Well worth it, IMO. Wheel Worx is a busy shop, so remind them that the black rings snap out of the center caps, making it easier to repaint them to match the wheels. They do a nice mount and balance, as well.

Mine must have been the fine flake paint...
it was a nice paint job looking at the wheel by itself, but compared to the other wheels it just didn't have the same brightness. Most people wouldn't notice, but most of us would!
