Depends on the extent of the damage. Here are some vendors that you can check with, or you can speak to a custom wheel shop near you to see what they say. There are also wheel repair specialists that auto dealers work with so you might check with local dealers to see who they use.

· Wheel repair vendors:

• www.truwheel.com (N. Hollywood, CA)
• Wheels America
• www.wheel-repairs.com (Santa Ana, CA)
• www.alloywheelrepair.com
• www.rimandwheelworks.com
• Rimguard Xtreme (888-775-7467) in North Carolina. www.rimguardxtreme.com.

NOTE: Some of these vendors may or may not still be in business. My list was made up quite a while ago.

Here is info on the best place I've ever dealt with. Wheel Collision Center, Bath, PA. 610-837-8792 ask for Kevin. They have the equipment to make a brand new wheel. I had CCW Classics that got seriously damaged. They went over all four of my wheels and they were better than new. They looked amazing. They do long distance work so you can send them your wheels.

What rim? Lot's of singles out there, might well be better off to buy a used one instead of trusting repaired. Aluminum does not like to be bent twice. Obviously a professional repair center knows how to temper and such, but whether the wheel was cast vs forged will matter, etc.

Just checked their web site, lots of refurbished wheels in stock for Corvettes, I will keep the info incase I damage any of my CCW wheels I currently run 20's all the way around.

Thanks for the info.
