I recently damaged one of my wheels when I ran over some debris laying on the highway. Can anyone give me a referral for a company that can fix it?

Thanks,
Curt

Curt,

What type of damage, cosmetic or structural?

Structural. The inside of the rim looks like I took a swing at it with an ax. I'm surprised the tire didn't blow. I can post an image if that helps.

Ummmm, you can post a pic, but my thoughts are replace vs. repair.

Other opinions? Speak up guys!

I purchased a used wheel but thought if it was worth fixing, I would have a spare wheel. Or sell it to offset the cost of the replacement wheel.

I think you can try these:

Personally I'd only use Weldcraft. They do the widening of MM wheels.
