Just have it repaired, simple fix. As is, it will cause a slight vibe at higher speeds. My track wheels had much worse bends, and worked fine at Cal speedway and willow springs.

5" damn rock OUTSIDE a construction zone..I purposely go around side streets to avoid it and I watch the road like a hawk being that my body kit is ~3 inches off the ground...just missed the damn thing..saw it at the last second and couldn't swerve fast enough...no telling what happened internally of the tire either..so even though it has less than 5000 miles it will be replaced also..
have emailed a few vendors to see if they have that rim and what its going to cost me...

Guess I will google wheel repair in Texas...Yes they are PIAA Super Rozzas 19X9 in the front and 19X10 rear..
So this track day will be my first "race track" experience...but i have done 3 open road races that were 118 miles in two legs. So like I said having it be safe "at speed" is my main concern....I usually race the 125mph class which is the average speed and in that class 140 tops...but next race am doing the 135 with a top speed of 168.

I know of an amazing place here in Houston if you want to make the drive. They specialize in higher end wheels (ie, iForged, HRE, DPE, Volk, Work, etc) and ive personally seen them do amazing things. Ive had my Volks repaired there a couple of times with flawless results.
If your interested shoot me a pm and ill give you the name, number, directions.

Well now it really blows..the rim is unrepairable.....the lip of the rim is a rolled lip which means its hollow...so they can't "build it up" and re-lathe and polish it....so now I am looking for a new rim....
The owner of "Wheel Technologies" (Austin, Dallas, Houston) is the one that showed me the rolled lip..I'll post a pic later...

^ Dude, before you do, call these guys and email pics to them and tell them what Wheel tech told you. Ask for Art.
It may be non-repairable, but trust me asking this guy for a second opinion is worth the time.

BBORR is in west Texas between Ft. Stockton and Sanderson...its 2 legs so 59 miles each way..in the 125 class i drive it in about 28 and a half minutes..LOTS of fun..
MPORR was an inaugural Race that was supposed to happen the 15-16 of this month it was 45 miles each way but some newly elected asshat judge in Pecos county threw a wrench in it and its off this year..so as a consolation me and my team are going to TWS in college station the 13-14 of November for The Drivers Edge track event..

^^ The only place you can get such a great driving experience in the USA is Texas. Texas rocks!
It's a shame that a judicial suffering from uncertainty chooses to wreck one of the events.
