    So, yes, got bitten by a pothole (yes, we have them in Fl..) and dinged a rim which will no longer hold air. Honestly doesn't look that bad but I have few local options. Any recommendations are welcome and, yes, I don't mind boxing it up and shipping it somewhere as it's been discontinued in my size:whoosh:. Ruff racing 954, 20 x 8 1/2, 5x115 +20
    Thanks.

    Central, between Orl. and Tampa. Have a few places to check in Tampa that look promising.

    I know a couple of the Porsche and Mercedes dealerships locally use him to repair wheels and I had them repair a severely rashed OZ Superleggera wheel a few years ago that had been discontinued and impossible to find used.

    Long way to ship, but these guys did me right. They make and repair wheels. They made me 4 rims with custom width and back spacing for my 67 Nova. In business over 100 years.

    Thanks, guys! Wills is the place I remember hearing about many times over the years fixing bike wheels, I just didn't realize they were semi local. Lots of possibilities, here!

    Since everyone always starts these threads and never concludes them, I will for once:D . Took it over to Glenns in Tampa. One day turnaround and good to go. Chatted with the owner for a few and he gave me a tour of the shop. Place was packed with Mercs and BMW's up on jacks getting wheels repaired :crackup:(it's right around the corner from an AMG dealer). So, $150 and I'm good to go. Thanks for the tips:D chally.jpg
