Is this rim fixable? Update! 6/9/09
just got some 5zigen Fno1r-c for a really good deal with 95% new tires. but one rim is damaged..is this fixable?
6/9/09 Update! I finally bought that other rim since summer is here. Only difference is that one rim is a new Fn01rc Hot version and that the 5zigen sign is engraved into the rim instead of the white print. Thanks for the advice!
Any help is appreciated![img][/img]

I needed to buy new tires i got 55K miles on my stock 06 wheels. I was gonna spend around 4-5 hundred on tires. so i found these on craigslist and got them for 400 pick up. i decided to get them since the tires will still brand new (kumho ecsta)and i get a nice set of rims. But yeah i think im just gonna buy a new one. thanks for the help.

A new Fno1r-c 18 inch is $300.
i just got my Fno1r-c repaired. Those people were not able to match the color. So they paint other 3 wheel for free.
AFTER
I got my wheel repair in Philly, it is near the airport. They charged $155
I would recommend Wheel Collision near Pocono. I read some good review on their site.

Alright... That kind of damage did not come from a normal pot hole. That looks like someone ran over a nice pointed rock at 50 mph with a flat tire. The rims appear to be cast, not a material that will get the warm fuzzies from a weld patch... Even if you could braze or weld that section after hammering it back flat, you would have the out of balance issue to deal with. not sure anyone should run a wheel that has to have a small ball peen hammer tacked to the opposite side to keep it from pulling your arms out of the sockets at speed.
There is no way that rim will hold air the way it is...
If you can find someone to fix it, they are not telling you the truth of the matter, you need to replace it, that one is already cold, rotting and the death certificate has been signed.
Smile for the great deal you got for the tires and 3 good wheels and order the replacement.
Much easier to bury a wheel than a driver and their car...
Be safe, be well, be wise! Please!
