If you still have your OEM's, take the bent rim to Tru Wheel in the valley.

just buy a new wheel, then keep that one for spare. Repairing those wheels+painting will probaly cost about the same price.

I wish i would have came to that conclusion before i dropped the wheels off..my friend called me and said he can get the rim brand new for $200 (he has a bodyshop that sells rims as well-///MAtrix on la cienega)..i spent $175 at big boys to get it repaired and re-instaled. He called me before i went to go get the wheel. So yeah, i wishhh i would have done that. My next set of wheels i know what to do.

But yeah the wheels came out looking brand new. Pretty cool. They did a good job.

now you know, sometimes it's worth fixing a wheel. Well, looks like the repair turned out pretty good, good for you.

Enjoy your car.

More than a pothole though.

There's a place called Wheel Techniques in San Jose, that repairs rims.
