Can this wheel be fixed?

Anyone know if this type of wheel damage is easily repaired by the various wheel refinishers?

Yes..either Al Reed or Harvey Weidman can easily do those dings during a retrue and refinish.

I hit a rock in my Volvo @ 100MPH that tore a 3" round piece out of the back side of the rim (was following a buddy in his - he swerved to miss - I didn't). A refinisher fixed it so well I had to get the other 3 redone to match!

Imcoz,

If it's a set of 15x6/7 Fuchs they cannot be repaired under any circumstances, and you need to send them off to me ASAP so I can prevent them from falling into the wrong hands!!

Nah, that's not a lot of damage - should be easy to repair!

Thanks for all the feedback... I would be buying them from an aquanitance... not sure they (just the two 15x8) are worth $300 plus the refinish... which I'm assuming would be atleast another $300... could probably get a decent whole set for $1000 if I'm patient:/

Why spend the $300 on refinishing, with the way you drive they'll have more dings in them in a few weeks

Evil,
That's it! I'm taking back my 15's... and your car's too slow to catch me.
