Wheel Repair

One of my rims was damaged in a recent accident and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good wheel repair shops, preferably near northwest Florida.

There is mostly cosmetic damage with area 1 missing a chunk and area 2 is missing a chunk and the spoke is bent just a fuzz. (Small hairline cracks in the paint on the back)

i doubt that wheel can be fixed but it's worth trying

:eek:

I wouldn't expect that rim to be repairable(at least not cost effective). That's a good amount of damage.

Why do you say that it is unrepairable? It only has those two areas that are bad. The rest of the marks are rubber marks which I have already cleaned off. The main reason that I want to get it repaired is that I am told it is a discontinued style. I have looked all over the internet and haven't found one to replace it. Either that or find someone who only wants 3 rims.

Looks like about $125 for refinishing. The gouges like that will likely be more.

Doesn't look that damaged but as far as the wheel goes i don't think it will be worth fixing it.
