Are you in the Toronto area? If so, there is a place just north of Ajax called Hollywood that will fix it for you. Here is the link to their site.

His name is Paul Paoletta (647) 297-1574

Man, I did the same thing to my rear left rim the other day making a left turn (1st time for everything I guess, stupid curb), and I hope it gets repaired as well as yours did. It looks almost exactly like the damage you sustained. I went to this place called Car Star, and they estimated $169 bucks, so we'll see.

PS. I have an AB 2009 G37x For some reason, I'm not seeing many of the AWD Gs out there.

Thanks for the tip. I have a curbed rim that needs some TLC!

Not sure if I'd let them take my car away for an hour. I'd rather just take the rim off my car myself and put on the donut while they fixed that rim.
