please HELP!!! :cry:

well since i go to school here in elf grove at CRC(consumnes river college) i have been wondering(i forgot to mention that i live at a cousins house in folsom) do you guys know of any good wheel repair shop around here? cuz going home from san jose on the 101 i ran something big over going around 70-80mph but i didnt see it since i was busy talking to my passenger(one of my home girls). so in the end it made a fat dent on the wheel, and now im running on one steelie with 3 18" 5zigen wheels. so again i am just asking if any of you sac guys know a place where to repair a bent wheel? its only bent on the lip of the wheel and isnt too bad. but still not driveable on.
also for you bay area peeps out there, im asking the same question here, cept for places around the bay.

i know it may sound good to just buy a new one but i wanna call up those shops to see prices and compare. cuz $200 for a new wheel or get it repaired for a quick fix just for now till i get some money to buy a new one. maybe......

There are a few places here that specialize in wheels but not sure about repairs I will ask around.

damn that sucks, you should probably just look into buying a new wheel. one of my friends had a rim repaired before and all it did was crack again because the sctructural integrity of the rims was FOREVER damaged.

i've dealt with them before. 24 hr turn around. and they'll take the tire off - fix the rim - put the tire back on (mount and balanced) for under $150 - I BELIEVE. call ahead for info.
