Wheels

I guess this is a good spot to post this.

I've been searching for someone to repair my wheel, when I came across this http://www.wheelcollision.com/index.html
Has anyone used them?

This is what I need to fix

i easily could be wrong, but couldnt you take the tire off, take a butane torch or whatever and just heat that area up a little, take a hammer and just kinda hammer it back to shape and then slowly and more delactly work it smooth? may not look the greatest from up close, but it would be cheap and you'd do it yourself...?

I could fix that....

Use a body hammer to gently roll it back down... smooth it out with a die grinder, then go 100, 240, 400, 600 then diamond paste, then aluminum polish.
