I bent a rim today. not too bad, I think. The bend itself is on the inside of the rim (the side facing the engine bay) and is about 4" long but only about 3-4mm deep.

At what point is a rim unrepairable? What makes it unrepairable?

Anyone know?

Something that minor can be fixed. There are sevral companies that can do that for you.

They are all repairable but its if it is worth the work and cost. I talked to my freind which is a wheel repair person and he showed me a classic mustang rim that was not even round or straight. He said because it was a classic and the customer will pay any amount for this origanal rim to be repaired he will repair it. I hit a curb that was in the road and he said it was fixable but not for $90 which is the cost of a new one.

I already have a guy that does it for $75.00. Noone makes Trophies anymore, so I wouldn't have any choice but to pay to get it fixed no matter what the cost. (Well, unless it costs more than a whole new set of rims, of course)

He's just not open today or tomorrow, so I haven't talked to him yet.
