The roads here are so ****ty here after a horrible winter of snow/salt/plowing...

Hit a pothole the other day with right front tire, and now the outer lip of my 19" SSRs is bent. Have a local shop I trust looking into options (they do some wheel fixes but aren't comfortable doing mine in house), but would appreciate any recommendations for wheel repair in the CHICAGO or ST. LOUIS area.

Thanks much.

Oh no! I know you just got them. Try Wheels America (www.wheelsamerica.com).

I have heard good things, but haven't used them first hand.

I know, right? Almost made it 2 weeks. And I'm actually really careful when I drive--damn think snuck up on me ... Appreciate the reference; will look into them.

No prob. What size tires did you get? I would consider going thicker for added protection. I am running a little thick.

This happened to me the 3rd week i had brand new MOMO's on my IS. Happens to the best of us. If the lip is not too bent, it can be repaired.

I cant contact the McGrath Acura/Lexus dealer to see who they use. Its ~50$ per rim from what I can recall. I think they use who Vik posted but not certain. Let me know or call them and use my name. If you call the Acura dealer ask for Adam or Alex and again use my name. Not sure who handles that at the Lexus dealer but you can ask for Sharron Gail or Mike McGrath Jr. and they will put you with the right person.

Sorry to hear. Good thing they can fix it. Now I am really afraid to install mine if they make it. Bad decision on my part with these roads.
