I've had a really bad cold for the last week or so, and yesterday on my way out of town I was coughing like crazy, pulled over in a neighbourhood just to relax for a sec, but I was being an idiot and pulled up tight to the curb.

Unfortunately I curbed both of my passenger side wheels. The rear one isn't too bad, just a 2 CM gash, but the front wheel has about 6-7 inches scratched up.

I'm wondering if forged aluminium can even be repaired properly?

I might just have to drive em like this until I sell my car, probably wont get much when I sell them

 

It's maddening when we do damage ourselves

 

Alberta Wheel Repair can probably fix it ok... And you're selling the car now?

 

I've been thinking about selling it, infact yesterday I spent 3 hours in a Cayman S, but on my way home from Edmonton I realized my S2000 is still a ton of fun to drive, and I should probably just hold onto it for a while longer.

 

can albeta repair fix forged wheels?.. if so.. wont the wheels be not very balance no more.. since that fixed part will be cast?

 

Yep they can, I gave them a call yesterday afternoon and they're confident they can repair forged aluminium properly.

And for the amount I curbed, the wheel weight isn't going to be thrown off at all... its very minor. I might even just live with it until next spring.
