Help!

I hit a pothole and damaged my left front wheel. MB part number is 202-400-03-02. The wheels are from a W202 C class AMG. Does anyone have a used one? Also scraped the left rear as well. :-(

Jay, if that's a 17 x 7.5 wheel there is one on ebay as we speak...

sure it cannot be repaired?


Also, there are no potholes in FL.. just sinkholes

 

[alexnatt]

Ouch Don. I thought, and then decided not to say "Jay you have to stop driving into holes."

What are You going to do with the scraped rims? Here they could be restored for sure.

 

[TheDon04]

it can be repaired here as well, there are companies that do it.

 

[MaxMatt]

I am absolutely sure that it is possible to repair it in the US. It's just the cost of such a repair that may make it economically unreasonable.

RIM REPAIR BUSINESS

this place Rimedies has shops all over the US .. i can attest to their quality of workmanship as i had some expensive billet wheels repaired by their facility in scott , La the ad plainly says .. 50-$125 .. you tell me where you are going to get THAT wheel for that kind of money ...

It sure as hell felt like a sinkhole, cavern, well or cave. Never trust what you think is just a small puddle in a shopping center parking lot at night... If I can find a used one, then maybe I can have this one repaired to keep as a spare.

How fast do you drive in parking lots at night? Last time I damaged a rim the tire pressure was low and I was going 50 MPH.

I was only doing about 10-15 mph. I think the problem was that I didn't hit it dead center, but on the edge of it hole.
