BRO WHAT DID YOU DO!

DONT BE LAZY.. MOVE YOUR MIRROR!

You are probably just going to deal with it, or buy aftermarket rims if you want them to be perfect again.. check the rims thread below

Get on the net and go to "wheels America", they do a super job on repair, and I can tell you from my own experience that you will not be able to tell the diff, from a new wheel. I am in AZ and sent one to CA. and it was returned in a week.- super job. They have places all over.

It may be cheaper to buy 1 new wheel rather than repairing one... How much was the set of wheels?
