WaWa is only in the Pennsylvania/Maryland region - but they are expanding a bit to the Raleigh area in North Carolina.
I still go there when I visit the inlaws but they're not nationwide by any means.
As for curbing the wheel. I did the same thing a few weeks ago pulling into my parking garage at work. Now I take a really WIDE turn to get in!

Tastycake FTW!
OK, so I'm going to attempt to repair the rim myself. If I can locate my camera (which may or may not have been stolen out of my work car at a parking garage) I'll document it...and that's if it comes out well. If not, I'll tell you where I got it fixed and how much. Thanks for all the responses.
Pats or Genos? That's the real question...

Sorry. Can't help you on the Powder coat question.
I live in Texas. Do you really think anything named Wawa would have a chance here?
On the plus side, you have a tractor, so that gives you some cred for a yankee.
BTW. hope you neck feels better. I manage to pinch a nerve in my neck about twice a year or so and it really sucks. I find Advil and red wine help a lot though.

I have a '68 Deere also, a 2030. It has a front end loader, which is very useful. It's an ugly bastard though, so I don't have any pictures of it.

They have Piggly Wiggly in South Carolina too. I remember stopping at one on the way to Myrtle Beach to buy some batteries and bread. Not what I would call an upscale supermarket.

Deeres suck, International is where it's at. 
j/k
I only know about them because my ex gf's father was a diehard International fan and had about 20 fully restored tractors in his warehouse. He was always talking smack about the Deere's.
How bad is the damage? Maybe you can get by with one of these?

WOW.. I have redone 3 sears tractors for customers.. Here's a motor. You did Great. Tough tough work... I'm not doing it again, unless for a Friend for Free!! Nice Trac!
Good News / Bad News on Wheels. I have redone 10 Million S/Bike Wheels. There is a Coating on some... but when you try to fix one... eeehhh.. sometimes better to polish the rim ring on all 4 , so they be da same, wear the same, etc.!! Where are U located? Happy to help or do em!!! PICS would help! But shipping costs??? Hummm. Not looking to make a penny. PM me if you want to discuss the specifics of doing it!. I have a few ideas.

Thanks. I'm definitely going to try it myself. The rash isn't really bad. The problem is that the SCII wheels don't have a lip, they have a face - if that makes sense. I have to blend the damage into the face as opposed to just smooting and polishing the lip.
I was going to get cracking on it yesterday, but I'm remodeling the garage and I never got to the car.
