bent rim :(

[canada5]

slid into a curb on a wet, off-camber corner and clipped the front right wheel. Slight ding on the rim edge and now a slow leak. Anyone in the Toronto area have 15" replacement that matches for an 89 535?
Sorry my camera just crapped out , will post photo tomorrow. Thanks.

How bad is it? Usually, you can take it to a wheel repair place and they can fix it for $100 USD.

hey, Mr. El hopper, that's right up your alley

call around tire places, and ask if they sell refurb rims or if they fix them. worth a try. if they can't fix it on the spot, but the damange isn't all that bad, they may give you a credit for your bent up rim towards a purchase of a new refurb. (make sure the colors match tho..) i have 2 refurb rims on my talon, and one is a bit whiter than the other 3..

I wish I could have paid $100 to one of those places to have them fix my rim, but I needed a whole new one at $880.
If you can get one of these places to fix your rim, it is A LOT cheaper than getting a whole new rim...just plan it out accordingly because usually they take 2-3 business days to do the job (unless you can find a place that will do it real quick), which means you have to drive on your spare or something for that time.
