Unhappy Where can I send my bent wheel to be fixed? (Pic attached)

Well I ran up over a curb yesterday and I did that (see pic below). Where should I send this to have it fixed? Would it just be better to buy another wheel? Any help is greatly appreciated.
BTW: It is an Enkei RPF-1 17x9 +35

peace

I've had some experience with this. Wheel gets fixed ..or does it. Once a bend that bad gets straightened things will never be right. some places might tell you it's fixable but trust me after paying to fix, not being happy with it, then buying a new wheel anyways you'll wish the first step was eliminated- ya dig

I think he learned his lesson already. Was this the same accident?




Let's call him drifty.

LOL, very funny :P
Yes it was the same accident.

As for fixing the wheel, I'm probably not going to do it, structurally, it'll never be the same...I'll have to buy a new one.

Ouch... that was a hard hit. haven't read anything about an accident, but I haven't looked around either.

Yeah, replacement is in order with that severity of damage.

You still have the grille? PM or email me with shipping costs to 85281.

I paid $220ea new at my local Discount Tire for that exact rim. New is the only way to go on cheap rims like these.
