Default Two days...two Re040's...New member to the steel wheels club

Friday afternoon while going to my car while leaving work I notice a screw sticking out of my sidewall. Saturday morning...Temp patch it and make arrangements to have four new tires for next week. Saturday night around 10pm leave my house about a mile away hit a small pothole and bend my rim and kill another tire. Pull out the spare decide I don't trust the supplied space saving jack so decide to call roadside assistance. With in a hour I am home sportin a donut. Does anyone know a place that repairs rims on Long Island? Well at least I have new pilot sports and coil overs to look forard to in less than two weeks hopefully. Guess it's back on with the snows till then.
