Got my damaged wheel fixed for cheap!

Well i just got back from YE Old Wheel Shoppe in Elkridge MD. It is about an hour and a half drive but it was worth it! The previous owner of my FD smacked a curb real good and the lip of the stock wheel was cracked and mashed. It was real nasty looking and I was thinking of getting new wheels or buying a couple used ones because of it. I dropped off the wheel on monday and left with my spare on. Its friday and I just got back and the wheel is perfect. It cost me $70 but well worth it. They also can fix some real bad damage as well but I hope to never need that service. I may get my stock wheels powder coated but they only offer painting. I wanted to share the experience. In case you need the service there are a few places around that do the work. Here is a link with a half dozen shops around. http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/TireWhee...heelrepair.htm

I wish I had before and after pics of the wheel. I assure you I thought it was going to be impossible but it came out amazing. My wheel was all mashed and cracked at the lip. It cost me $70 bucks and was well worth it. I went to YE OLDE WHEEL SHOPPE. The link I showed has several places that do wheel repair. The place I went is just south of Balitomre MD. I live in Northern VA so it was baout an Hour and a half drive. I cannot tell the wheel was ever damaged and I am real **** about my car.
