Default Houston Wheel Repair?

Waiting on a call from my SA but I'm pretty sure my wheel is bent. PCNA does not allow any kind of repairs besides cosmetic refinishing, so of course they will want to replace for big bucks. I used to use SABS on Bissonnet but google says they are out of business. Someone on another forum recommended Wheels America and they did pretty sub-par work on my CTS-V. Any other recommendations?

I'm waiting on an email back from Suncoast, but it lists for 2100ish, 1600 on most online sites before shipping. I think this is it. 21" Exclusive Design matte platinum front. I am still leaning towards repair if they say its bent, as I visually inspected the wheels and I didn't see any damage, so it's not destroyed, maybe egg shaped.

American wheel and tire off 290and 610.

they do wheel repair at night so need to leave your car or wheel there. Did you get a donut yet?
Cayenne donut in 19” fits over steel brakes, otherwise 20” if you have carbon ceramic. An older style BMW X5 style jacks works with our car as well.

No I dont have a donut. This is not a daily, so I was going to leave it on jack stands. Last time I looked under it I only saw the jack point on the rocker panel. If there is a second place to put a jack stand, its covered by the felt undertray. Not sure how I feel about just leaving it on a pump jack. I suppose I could leave it at the wheel place. I might try American Tire and Wheel. There is an Alloy place with tons of good reviews but its all the way in Spring. Porsche Sugar Land STILL hasnt looked at my car. Excuses all week then today he said the tech called in today due to the rain. I guess no other techs can look at it lol? If they dont get to it Monday, I might just take it to a Euro shop in Cinco Ranch and let them mess with it, The Garagisti? At least I have a loaner.

I see a ton of 18" Cayenne donuts on ebay but I not too many 19s. One ebay listing says 19 but it looks like the other 18 and you cant read the numbers in the picture.

18” won’t fit. Need 19” or 20”. I see one for $350. Getting pricy, wreckers know what they got. lol

the BMWX5 Jack is a scissor Jack, no issue leaving on that, and place a Jack stand under A arm as insurance.

here is my car on my donut when I got a flat. You can borrow. I’m in Oak Forest, near AW&T but leaving on business trip Sunday
