On my Audi Cabrio I have 17" Mille Miglia Evo 5's and just bent the lip pretty good on one of them and want to see if it can be fixed rather than a new one at $189. I live downtown but I want quality work done so anywhere in Chicago land could work for me.

Default file a complaint with the city ASAP. they are responsible.

you'll need to get two repair quotes and will need to specify the time/place that the incident occured. if you call up city hall, they'll send you out a packet to fill out.

$189 is cheap. I'd buy a new one over having one fixed for $100+

Default I run the same rims, and I just buy new ones. isn't worth it...

I love the look of the rim, but I have bent a bunch of em...

but overall, my cash outlay has been less than a $350/rim setup, and I am sure on most of my rim bending incidents, it would have killed most wheels.
