Default I need help... Bent a wheel...

I was driving home today in Gina's 993 and a truck dropped a good size rock (about 4" in diameter) out of the back... I thought I avoided it when the rock took a hard left... I ran over it with my right rear tire and bent the wheel where the tire seats.... Any suggestions on a reputable place to get the wheel fixed in the Montgomery Co. area... Thanks in advance for your assistance...

Call Dan Busche @ Wheel Doctor 301-651-6186. He's in Gaithersburg and will pickup & drop-off.

Another option is "Ye Olde Wheel Shop" in Elkridge. I've heard good things about them, but have no first-hand knowledge.

I appreciate all the help... I took the wheel to Wheel Worx in Millerville, MD... They looked over the wheel and felt they could fix it... Their turn-around time was 2 days and the cost to fix was $150.00 including taking the tire off, remounting and balancing... I would highly recommend them...
