Potholes SUCKS!!!
Please excuse the mud. But recently I hit a pothole on the freeway going 65 mph and today I just noticed the dent on my wheels. Can the rim be repaired? Also anyone selling 19" F sport wheels?

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. One pothole did THAT? Are those Varrstoens? I have the same ones and I recently smashed into two potholes but nothing like that. I'm running stretched too. 225/35 on a 9.5 and all I had were a few paint nicks, and these potholes were huge! Gives me a reason to paint my rims. About to do a darker shade of hyper black but with metallic flakes (per Mariano's suggestion). :P

Try this place. Recommended from the alignemnt tech I go to. Also looked at BMW forums and members there also recommend this shop as well.
I plan to get my 18" F-Sport stock wheel repaired as I have a compression point on the inner side which appears to make the wheel wobbling on the inside but not on the outside which was caused form a pot hole going at 50 km/h. This happened around Bellevue in the Eastgate area; they repaired the pot hole like a week after this happened. I'm not really worried since the stock wheel is being used for winters.

iono about your state but in colorado if you call the city and tell them they will pay for your damaged wheel if you tell them were the pothole you hit was and that was the reason it messed your wheels up
But yes its definitely repairable! Find some reputable wheel repair shops around you and get quotes
