I ruined my 19's, right on time for the meet....=(

I was sooooo pissed off that I could've killed somebody. I ran over curb pretty badly that costed my 19' wheel. I really like this wheel and it's gotta happen couple week b4 the meet. Ima have to get another wheel actually two wheels cuz the passanger front is done but rear I guess I could ride it but it hav mad curb rashes......about 4~5' long.
That's when my wheels were on my Max.

Here's wut happens if u don't becareful especially wit 19's

Wow bad looking wheel. Nice looking girl

But you can get wheel fixed at a wheel repair place. Nice thing is the lip is polished. Cheaper than refinishing them in paint. Should be around $100-$150 to fix.

They can repair some pretty hacked up wheels. I'd call maybe a wheel/tire place and ask them who they like to use. I wouldn't know who to refer you to in PA.

I think your best bet is to call a local tire and rim shop and inquire about the possibility of fixing the rim and much it will cost you. I have to agree with Jeff about the $100-$150 cost.

Is it a two piece? Maybe Axis will sell you just the outer rim. That's better than buying new wheels. If you have a good insurance and no claims lately. You could try to make a claim

some will only cover OEM equipment unless you specifically get aftermarket product coverage. Like on my policy (I had to add it on), they will cover up to $10,000 of aftermarket equipment.

That way if I am a dumbarse and wreck my car they will cover my D2's, headers, cat and catback otherwise I am SOL.

play hard pay hard woo choo/ i feel you. i bent a rim b4 and it's cheaper to replace the rim. also it just feels better with a new one rather than a wheel that you know it's been abused.
it's like a girl/ you know you were the first to ride it! it's never been bent.....hahhahha

Here is a place in PA http://www.wheelcollision.com/

I took a 18" Breyton that had very similar damage to yours to this place http://www.fixrim.com/ and they fixed it so, you couldn't tell the difference between the fixed rim and and a brand new one. Its quite a drive from you, but I highly recommend the place.

rim damaged/ replace it

Ugly mess, replace it. Dont bother with the repair. I just curbed my 18's aswell, repair will never look the same as new. You'll feel better with a new one, trust me! Pete

Sorry to hear about your wheel. Better to buy a new one. I think he got distracted by the passenger.
