best thing to do is buy a new wheel. especially with forged wheels, a repair is nowhere near as strong as an original wheel, and if you get the whole lip done, you're going to end up weakening the entire lip.

I thought that with bent rims, those really shouldn't be repaired because it'll be weaker than before.. I got curb scratches...light ones but I just can't stand looking at it all scratched and a new rim will cost me about $550...=T
I'm still waiting for wheel techniques to give me a quote and I'll post it on here or I'll probably call them this afternoon...

I agree... they can bring a dead rim back to life...
but here's another option if they aren't messed up that bad... Wheels America
