+1, most rim repairs usually run in the low-to-mid $100s.
That doesn't look that bad actually. Good luck.

The tire has a huge bulge in the sidewall so it has to be replaced. The tire will cost me about $230 bucks.

Where are you located? You should add your location to your profile. I have a great wheel repair guy that I've sent many E60.net members to. That wheel is fixable, so don't sweat it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just dropped the rim off at a rim shop. $135 for them to fix/repaint the entire rim. Not too bad I guess.
The tire has a huge bulge in the sidewall so it has to be replaced. The tire will cost me about $230 bucks.

Wheels America is who I used actually. They were really cool. They fixed it in one day but when I put it in my trunk the first time to take it home, I rested the old tire on it. The paint wasn't fully dried and when I pulled the tire off the paint came up in 2 little spots. I brought it back the next day and they repainted it, no questions asked.
