Angry Warped my TT II's (Need Suggestions)

Looks like the rain helped produce a huge, deep pothole that i could not avoid. I ended up warping the outside lip of both driver's side wheels from the pressure.

Where can I go to get these fixed and how much may I be looking at paying?

Thanks,
daniel

Damn that sux...go to google.com and enter a search for "aluminum wheel repair"

There are a lot of places that will fix them, usually around $100 each for something like warpage.

Thanks for the help you guys. Before sending my wheels off somewhere, would it be safe or possible to take a wooden block and hammer to it? That sounds stupid and reckless, but really, has anyone ever done this?

Thanks ponyackn...

and no...don't take a block and hammer to them. You might crack the aluminum, or make the problem worse. Please leave it to the professionals.
