whatever you do, do NOT take it wheel techniques. THey took over 5 weeks to repair one wheel and repaint the other 3 (they were only repainting it because they couldn't match the original color of my ssrs, and i ended up having to pay ADDITIONAL money).


but to stay on topic, wheel techniques claim they can fix almost anything. might take them several years on that volk though considering it took over 5 weeks just to repair a cracked lip for me. :P

I don't think that is repairable.

Even if a wheel repair shop magically straightens that out, there is no way that the wheel can be repaired without applying heat to it. Whenever heat is applied to a wheel, the molecular consistency of the alloy changes and makes the material very brittle.
