Rock Bent rim: What should i do ?
I was driving around town today and i was on the beltline ( smaller interstate) and the trunk in front of me ran over but didnt hit the rock in the road which i had 1/2 sec to see before i ran it over with my front left tire. It skipped my CD and it was over. Nothing happend to the suspension that i know of right now, and the tire was not blow but I F*cked up my 17" BBS RX201 rim. Its bent up but not broken and the wheel is still holding air fine.
What do i do ?
Where can i get an exact rim from BBS ? Can someone point me in the right direction ?
I looked for BBS's website but i couldnt find it.
Should i just buy i new rim, or should i go to a place and see if they can fix the rim ? Ill try to get pictures of it up soon. In the mean time. Help me !!

I found a local shop that will take it, ship it to their wheel guys and they will heat it, roll it back into shape and re-finish it to be silver again. all for $150. thats a good deal figuring for a sigle BBS rim it would be $400.
I should ask them if they would refinish all my rims. Paint them black and put a polished lip on it. That would be sweet too.
Im hoping they can save the tire. Today it started leaking air, just from where the rim is pulled up im guessing.

where is the damage? front face of the wheel or the rear??
a friend of mine had a similar situation, he dented the rear of his GAB. since it wasnt visible, he got a blowtorch and a rubber mallet and started beating the wheel til it got back in shape.
