Unhappy Rim HELP!!!!

Yesterday was the crappiest day ever. I hate bovaird drive. Ok, i was driving down that shitty road and i hit a huge pot hole that was full of water poped my tire and bent the lip on the rim(Motegi MR4 Gunmetal). Thats not the worste part I call to see if the guy that i bought the rims off could get me a new 1 and he calls some of his suppliers and find out u cant get them any more. So.. now im stuck with a bent rim and 3 other 2 month rims. So if any 1 has a connection for these kinda rims or knows where i can find 1 without having to ship form cali drop me a line. Also if any1 knows of a plave that can fix rims at a reasonable price.

Transformer_Guy is on a distinguished road
You can take it to a place that fixes and refinishes rims. That will roughly be $100 to fix or you can check tires.com and see if they carry it

They seem rude to me too on the phone, but when i got there they were all nice and stuff, probably cause they thought since i was there i was gonna let them do the job. but 195 for the repair screw it i bought a new one

it would be around the same price if not cheaper to get a new rim. Once a rim is dented it can be fixed but is never truly in its origainl shape

^ highly recommended. I had my lip refinished there once. Good service. Make sure your rim is off before you go there!

There is some other rim repair shop in the uglier part of north york called rim repair. I beleive they are around Weston Rd and Finch. Their nubmer is 416 665 3038. I called them and the people who answered the phone didnt sound too professional. Cant comment on their work. Depending on what part of north york you live it might be faster to hit the 404 to bloomington rd where you can got carcones. its really not that far and there isnt much traffic on the 404.

Hope this info helps

the city will probably pay for the rim

My car is damaged because of construction on a provincial highway. How can I get reimbursed for my repair costs?
