N89 15" Turbocast Wheel Repair
Hello,

I've got a set of 15" Turbocast wheels and only one has some minor damage on the outer rim edge. Every wheel repair shop I've spoken to so far has said it's un-repairable. I would have expected maybe some welding and smoothing and it would be good to go.

Any suggestions on where I can take this for a repair? Thanks!
-David

I have used machine shops for this kind of work before. Not cheap
