Repair Bent Wheel lip? (Weld Racing) Just have to love Chicago/Illinois streets 
Has anyone ever bent their Weld Racing wheels and had them repaired?? If so, who did them and how did they turn out???
I've reach out to a few local wheel repair shops and they all said they could bend the lip back but there is nothing they can do for the finish, as the wheels will have blemishes, scratches and discoloring (brown/black spots) from the repair process. I've seen pictures from one shop and they weren't lying, the fixed wheel was indeed straightened but the lip has crimp marks on the lip and brown spots. Looked horrible.
Backstory:
I bought some Weld RTS wheels (18x10/11) about 3 months ago and while driving back to a friends house the other weekend after shooting a few pics, I hit a large bump/trench/pothole in the road at like 45-50mph.
When I got to my buddy's house I noticed it had slightly bent the two front wheels.
