Can this wheel be fixed?

I hit something last night and blew out my tire and put a nice dent in my wheel. I think the wheel will still hold a tire, but this dent looks like crap. Would it be fixable?
Thanks-

CLS wheels are fairly cheap... you can prolly get one for the same price it would cost to fix.

Thanks Loseit.

I may just deal with the dented one for a while, and then order some aftermarket ones a little later.

Maybe someone can bring back those old curb feelers from the '70s. Of course if it's a Honda curb feeler it would have to have a LED.

Hey Danny, there is a good wheel refinisher here in town that does it for a good price so I hear. I think they are called "Touch and Go". They specialize in wheel repair.

Sorry to hear about that. Hell, I am more paraniod someone is going to try and steal my wheels, I am looking to move next month to a house with 2 car garage I think if mine got scratched, maybe nobody would want them

I curbed my rims less than a year after I bought the car. But the moment I switched out my tyres and replaced em with 235s I never kissed a curb again. HAA I finially won the war with those damm ATMs.

Chris, i looked that name up in the phone book, but i didn't find anything. Do you know where they are located? I'll have to swing by and see if it's worth it to fix it.

Wheels America can fix the wheel for $100 bucks. The tire, I suggest replacing.

$100 for the refurbishing repair. Wow and I thought $95 to do my rim was HIGH. Only cause I thought that the rims should only cost $75 for a refurb.
