Ouch. Fixable how? Someone put a link on here recently about sanding and painting something not quite so bad as this. You can certainly smooth it out somewhat, although possibly to do a good job the tire might have to come off. I had my wheels repainted years ago (I had some corrosion from the salt/wheel weights that they machined off and repainted the lips) at this place: Wheel Collision Center . They would weld it up, polish it back, repaint, and you would never know you had dinged it.

Patrick, that's nothin!


DavidB's article on rim repair would be perfect for this.

http://bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=30



If in doubt, you can get it done for $129 from www.bentrim.com
