On the way to Scottsdale I took a giant rock in the windshield... proline shield saved the glass. Thought someone took a shot at the car.

Sadly it is common for wheels to take abuse as a rock will get caught in there and then gets thrashed around.

I am sorry for your experiece however a good wheel person can make it good as new with little trouble

All the best

Visited Cars & Coffee in Vegas, and met this guy who has a franchise to repair alloy wheels. Pretty impressive trailer.... check it out,... seems like they can help you out.

I was searching the web for a Southern California wheel repair shop, and found this establishment. No experience with them yet, but plan to take my damaged front wheel to them and try them out. Their website seems to say the right words.

Used a company called Fix wheel USA in Buena Park, Ca a few years ago.

They fixed a BMW M3 rim with the bend like the pic above. The price was very fair and the service was quick. Drop off by 2pm and back by 10am the next day.

My friend owns the car now, and it has about 100k on the fix. I can tell where they fixed it, but no one seems to be able to. a 8.5 of 10. They make the repair and blend the finish back in. His was a polished wheel, I have seen others that are painted like ours, that come out even better.

Good to have choices.
