    Rim/Alloy damage, possible to repair ? (Pics included!)

    Hey guys

    I bought my beautiful BMW 3 series convertible a few months ago.

    Was driving around JLT last night and I believe I must have hit one of those dreaded bumps (I do remember going over something rough on those dark curves..). I wasn't even going too fast, maybe around 40kmph.

    Unfortunately my car's front right side rim seems to have gotten a bit bent. Due to this, there's a leak and when I woke up this morning, the tire had no air at all. (0 PSI) Went to the petrol station and found the problem.

    My question is, is it possible to repair such damage ? If yes, could one of you please help me out with how much that might cost/time/where to do it? Any contacts/phone numbers for this ?

    If not possible, what would be the best place to get a new rim ? Also, ballpark figures on prices ?

    These are 19'' rims.

    Any help is really appreciated! Thanks!

      Thanks for the info Wazif. I just called Tyre Plus but they said that they don't do any repairs on rims. :(

      I also spoke to the AGMC parts shop and they do have the wheel in stock and it costs... wait for it... 3,320 AED!!

      Any suggestions on anything else I can do guys ?

        Modern tires do it. Be prepared to be ripped off big time:D

            I've dropped off the car at Das. Ayham said that he'll hopefully be able to fix it in 2-3 days. *fingers crossed* Waiting for an update from him :)

                  Rim came back after leaking air again, after inspection the tire is cracked from the inside shoulder. Tested it with another tire and it holds pressure fine. Waiting on Ash to drop us his new tire to finalize...
