Unhappy Honestly, I'm about to give up on this

I'm gonna give it to you straight... I bent my right front 19" RH J8 Super Black Chrome rim . They stopped making them in that finish , so I can't buy another one unless someone knows otherwise. So now I'm faced with buying a J8 with a different finish and trying to chrome it to match the others or powdercoat all 4 of them black.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!?!

The black chrome is a very common color these days and a reputable rim repair company should match it

Thoes wheels are going to bea PITA to powder coat, they are welded on the backside and cant be taken apart like some other 2pc wheels. Good luck, Im sorry I cant help more but I can keep an eye out for 1 for ya.

Ye Olde Wheel shop in Maryland can even repair Magnesium rims I was told...

I bent my old Racing Harts, and seen a few others bend them too.

Wheel Workz in Memphis fixes rims. They specialize in fixing oem styles but you could call them and see. Just google Wheel Workz to get the number.
