Default Ouch!!!! curbed my Z

Took on a curb at semi high speeds during some spirited driving. Luckily no body damage but flattened a 3 inch area on the backside of the rim and seperated the tire, no tire damage either. Can rims be straighted or is this thing toast, where would be best place to take it.

Sounds like its toast but post a picture for better analysis of the situation.

Wheel repair shops can repair most wheels, however depending on the amount of damage, type/cost of wheel, etc. it may be more cost effective and safer to just purchase a new wheel and remount the tire.

You could always fix the damaged wheel, mount a tire, and keep it as a full size spare?
