need help bent rim
#1
Hit a hole in my subdivision. Not sure if rim is fixable. They are iforged drifts(discontinued I believe). They came off of a e90 335i and I was running spacers. The pictures are of the one damaged rim. Can it be fixed in anyone opinion. Or should I cut my losses.

Look around. there are many vendors who do this repair routinely.
If you go to the dealer they will send it out to their fav and you will pay for that.
Negotiate directly.
When I was at the dealer one time,and I noticed a wheel repair truck making a delivery.
they are no different than the tool vendors that go to various dealers.

From the pics, looks like nothing. You should be able to get it done for about 150. Search around for reputable rim repair shops in your area. Trust me, on NYC potholes, I've had much worse things repaired before I got the BBS's. Good luck, bro!

Just make sure you find a good shop - not some butchers my first rim repair I used some douche in Queens - they ended up doing a really coarse job (I had a crack, and they had to weld the rim - it came out really bad, with the weld sticking out, and was always a little off on the balance - I had it redone by a pro and it came AS NEW), and it cost me more money that the current guy I use charges (Al's Hubcaps in Long Island). A good rim repair shop will make it look like new. Exactly like new - no excuses
Anyway, good luck, man! I feel your pain, but I think you'll be okay

It looks repairable considering I had my Iforged repaired and they looked a hell of a lot worse than the picture you posted. However, I wonder if you did damage to an Iforged riim that is non repairable, would iforged be able to make you one wheel even if it is discontinued?
