I had the rims on my delsol a few years ago and the car was hit in front of my house. The rim took most of the impact as you can see in the pics. I just bought the rims back hella cheap and need teh one fixed. Where is a good place Locally that I can maybe get this fixed? I have tried that guy that does the mobile rim repair for Mercedes and other dealers around amherst, he said that he couldnt fix it himself. Is there any place close that would or could fix this.

You need to ask yourself if it’s worth it.
If it can be fixed, figure a minimum of $150, probably more, to straighten it. Then the cost of repainting it to match the others or painting all four a new color.

Yeah, I tried to get a new one and OZ stopped making them awhile ago. Its impossible to find one rim. I picked them up for $50 so I will probally get it fixed and re powdercoat all of them a different color.

I miss that car though. Here is where it got hit in front of my house. This dumb ass girl borrowed her neighbors car and was driving down my street, her cell phone fell on the floor so she bent over to pick it up and WHAM, bithch tried to start the car after she broke the tierod and drive away. I was screaming at her.

Yes that wheel can be fixed, but I’m not sure if anyone local will be able to handle it. If you send it away, it will probably cost ~$120-130 to get fixed.

Got a lead hammer? I’d try to pound it out on my own.Grind down protruding metal on the outer lip, use a body filler, then call it a day. That, or call it a complete loss. How much is one wheel new?150?200? I wouldnt pay close to a new one for a repaired one.
