    Does anyone know where the best place is to get a dented wheel fixed? My wife hit a pothole and slightly dented the inner side of the wheel. I was thinking about going to Wheels America. Does anyone know anything about that place?

    Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Is it made of aluminum?

    If so, it is a poor candidate to be fixed.

    Are you saying that aluminum wheels are not fixable or just hard to fix?

    Wheels America can only resurface/recondition cosmetic damage to wheels. They can not fix bent or dent lips.

    You are better off looking for a used replacement, which would run anywhere between $150 - $200.

    Try Debbie & Tire & Wheel Connection (281-890-5920). She'll need the year, make, model of the vehicle as well as the rim size. They are located on 1960 next door to Beck & Masten Pontiac.

    The problem is that the wheel is an AT Italia Inox. AT Italia stopped making the Inox model. I will try Tire and Wheel Connection and see what comes up. Anyone else have some input?
