Default This may sound impossible.......help me out

Does anyone know place where they fix rims?
not just scratches but a hole....
I have a hole size of a quarter on my rim ( something went through the tire and the rim...) and is currently running on three silver and one gold (yikes)
Is there anyone out there who knows where to fix it?
it has become my dog's favorite toy to sit on.....

ahnyong haseyo!

Let me ask my friend... if anything though, it'll be out in the LA area. Can you post a pic maybe, of the damage? I'm not quite sure what you mean by the description. or if you can't, just get a picture of OEM rims (or whatever they are) and use photoshop and draw the damage on =)

Showed this post to my friend today, his only recommendation is to take it to a wheel shop, like pep boys, wheel works, whatever and see what they can do (Probably wont be cheap). He knows of two big wheel shops in Glendale, and I'll get the address for you on those two tomorrow (It's on colorado near brandy, big shops, can't miss em). Otherwise, if you want to scrap 'em, talk to the wheel shop people, they will know where.

Failing that, keep it for your dog =(

I highly doubt that is fixable, but there is a place online where you can buy a new rim for $225.
