You might try
Wheels America
141-F Central Ave
Farmingdale, NY 11735
(631) 756-9303 Toll Free(888) 3-FIX-RIM
Their Dallas location did some work for me and is was acceptable. The cost was about $125. Or, you can buy a new wheel from Tire Rack for around $450.

I'm sorry to hear what happened. I never take the 55 into NYC due to the roads here, cause I don't know what I will do if something happens to any part of my car.

There were some threads here in the past. do a search, and I'm sure you'll find it. I seem to remember one place (although not close) that got great reviews is "Ye Olde Wheel Shop" or something like that. I think they were in the Maryland area. I also remember reading about a shop in Boston that was very good. Actually I'm not sure if they fix wheels or are just great at alignments and balancing etc.

Wheels America has branches throughout the states. The quality of work will depend on the tech working. I brought my rim into my local branch, and they told me they couldn't fix it "because it was out of round"...
Uh, no sh*t sherlock! I hit a pothole. That's why I'm bringing it to you, so you can fix it. Other than my experience, I've heard positive comments from others who have used Wheels America.

I hit a huge pothole and i had my rim fixed at Al's hubcaps in Mineola NY. The shop looks a like hole in the wall but they have sold me rims for good prices and he fixed my crushed rim. He fixes them on sight. He might also have a used set of OEM E55 rims for you. Good luck!!
