Not so Merry Christmas

Santa came early this year and gave me a bent LF wheel.. Tire totally flat, and two cans of fix a flat came to no avail. So, what'd Santa give you guys?

Forgestar F14's are the chosen wheels at this point. Also, I got a family loan to update the whole car. Bumpers, lights, diffuser, lip, plugs, wires, heat exchanger, 63 conversion, the works.
