If that's the saddest time if your life, you are a very lucky person.

Good luck getting the ride up and running.

My wife once curbed her BMW rims in much the same way you have.

I called Ye Ole Wheel Shop(info below) and they repaired them for about $90 bucks ea. plus shipping. They did a great job, but w/shipping back-and-forth it took about two weeks.

Here is a list of Wheel Repair Companies I found.

Ye Ole Wheel Shop (410-796-8400 or 800-526-8260) Elkridge, MD
Advertises in AutoWeek classifieds

EuroCal Wheels (610 363-8899)

Wheel Collision Center (800 292-RIMS)

Rim & Wheel Works (617-964-0226 or 800-261-0495) Newton, MA

The Wheel Shoppe (810-415-7171) Fraser, MI

Precision Wheel Service (800-FIX-BEND) Branford, CT

Yea was driving around town late night and tried to pass this guy doing about 80, had the unfortunate luck of not being able to see this median that was seperating the lane. Ended up running the left side of my car up on it and as you can see from the pictures, the end result.

But anyways thanks for the contacts VROOM, they should come in handy.
