Wheels Damaged - Need Advice
So I'm driving along a major thoroughfare in Roseville and stumble upon an outcropping of cement between the middle and right hand lanes. This isn't a pot-hole or a chuck of cement that fell off a construction truck. This is cement that is part of the road and has been pushed up from below somehow. Anyway I hit it hard and severely dented my FR wheel and nicked my RR wheel.
I'm going to try to file a claim against CalTrans but need some advice from you all. Should I try to get the wheels repaired or just buy new ones? Does repairing the wheel reduce it's life-span or driveability, is it safe? If wheel repair is safe, can you recommend any reputable shops in the greater Sacramento area?
