Sad rim story

So i really messed up my Aspec rim the other day. I was comming home late one night and i feel asleep behind wheel for a split second. The road curved a lil bit so my front driver side rim hit the curb and now the all around the edge of the rim has curb marks. The rim looks pretty bad but luckily nothing else got damaged.

Does anyone know a rim repair company that could fix the curb marks in No.VA/DC/MD?

I amwilling to buy a new one if i can't get it replaced, i just know they are hard to find so i was thinking of trying to repair it instead.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Damn bro that sucks, atleast nothing worse happended to your car while you passed out for a second. Don't know any good repair places around you but I'm sure someone on here does. And above all atleast nothing happened to your well being when that happended. And I hope you were wearing your seatbelt.

When the rim is getting repaired, also check if it is bent in any shape or form.

Also, I always keep energy shooters in my glove compartment so things like this don't happen.

You don't need to take the entire 5 hour energy shot, just a sip. It has saved me quite a few times coming home late.

i was lucky, i was going around the curb and luckily the curb was pretty slow because the wheel hit the side of the curb and then the it basically hopped the curb for a second n then i woke up.

hmm i never thought of the 5 hour engergy drink thing but i might have to try it. usually i try to keep a red bull in the car for times like these.

that would be sweet blacura, its hard to find any places that refurnish wheels.

I have heard that Ye Olde Wheel Shop is good, but do they take a long time?
