Rim Repair?

Hi all,

Luckly to me I was REAMED in a parking lot, driver ditched out, I was inside the store, no cams.. Fender is shot and door has little scuffing.

I've come to find rim is bent... I was hit that hard, I'm trying not to think about it as this is coming out of my pocket. *I don't need an full insure lecture, for me full coverage was almost 5k not worth it*

I was thinking instead of spending money I don't have, on new rims if there is a place in SE PA or anywhere really that can repair a rim?

Also anyone with a black driver side fender let me know

This car is nothing but bad luck, maybe the new stereo and headers will keep it from the for sale area.

Is this rim repair possible, if so any idea on cost? I can't get pics sadly as my cam seems to have passed on... tack that on the list of stuff to fix

Any help would be great!

Aww man that sucks I am sorry to here that! Well you should still have a set of snowflakes to get by on.

There was a rim repair shop off county line road near the La Fitness & Calloways. I can't remember the name off the top of my head. It was kind of hidden. When I see my freind Wendsday I'll ask him the name of the shop. They fixed his Torque THrust 2's like 1000x the kid couldn't drive for ****. Any pics of the damage?

What kind of rims are they? If it's a common rim, you may be able to buy a rim for not too much more than it would cost to fix it. Just an idea.

WS-6/ZR1 rims. 17x9. Good idea, I'm not sure what the price on repair would be so I thought can't hurt to look here first. I'm sure they sure arn't cheap from GM or to ship.

I might be saving a bit that way though, thanks for the idea!

Not having much luck finding singles or people willing to break a pair.

Dealership still hasn't got my fender in blah, hit and run drivers are the worst.
