Dented rim - any suggestions for repair place?
Dented my rim on my summer tires Monday night. Love those Ohio roads! Threw on the snows - earlier than I wanted!
I have a nice dent on the inside of the rim. Anyone with suggestions on a place to get it repaired - I live in the Cleveland area but travel throughout the Midwest and Toronto if that helps.
I thank all of you in advance.

replace, is it a stock rim?
I've done both repair and replace, I prefer to replace. If the rim isn't too expensive I would replace it. Repairing costs ~$150 and the wheel is weaker after bending it back.

i've had great experiences with them...
they did a few wheels for me...
an entire set of allroad wheels...painted hyper silver. came out excellent. although my wife banged up 2 of them. all on the passenger side of course.
also, i had all 4 BBS LMs polished on the rim. they painted the outer lip facing the tire in hyper silver like the BBS factory does. excellent work...although they couldn't get the machined factory look since it would be too difficult to line it up exactly the way its done...they polished them instead.
