Alloy Wheel Repair

A sharp impact between my 1991 Nissan 240 SX SE's right front wheel and a curbtook a matchbook-size chunk of aluminum out of the wheel flange, allowing allthe tire's air to leak out. I've looked into buying a factory replacement alloywheel, but the cost is prohibitive. Is there any way I can have the alloy wheelrepaired?     GS - Terre Haute, IN

"We know of a company that claims to restore damaged wheels to OEMspecifications. The Wheel Collision Center (7286 Penn Drive, Bath, PA 180141-800-292-RIMS) can weld up the flange, grind it smooth, turn it on a lathe to0.010 to 0.015 in. tolerance and either polish, paint or clear-coat the wheel tomatch the original finish. The company claims its average repair cost per wheelfor the first quarter of 1992 was $117.00 and that its turn around time rangesfrom two to five days."
