Suck, but that's the price we have to pay if we want to roll low. Anyways, that's an easy cheap fix.

Check out wheel shops. I have one in okc (Wheel Connection) that does wheel repair but I bet theres one similar to it in AZ. The repair for it is only about 65 bucks. Luckily its the back cause all the work they do is visible on chrome. Other than that they can refinish it to for about $25 more. Looks like the is 5 double spoke cant tell if its chrome or not. Mine is but I had to get it chromed.

Wow, sorry to hear, but it looks repairable. I've hit a few and each time it felt like the wheel was bent upon impact, but I've been very lucky and there was no damage. I'm running 35 series tires in the front on most of my cars.

Well, what does she want you to do with them? Turn them into rubber floormats?
