If you've got a $1500+ rim, these guys can bail you out. For others, the expense can be as much as a new rim.

Will, as I said, check with a high end dealer, or call your ford dealer and ask them who they use. I have seen it done by a professional in a couple hours and he charged about a 100 bucks....

For $180, it wouldn't be worth the time looking them up and calling.

Last one I had done had a minor bend in the bead and a scuff- cost $600. New wheel was $2200 so it was well worth it.

There is a franchise around called Wheel Fix It. Not sure if in you area but worth a try. Typical repair anywhere from $75 to $125.

Was going to say check with a used car dealer that does higher end stuff. Had a guy with a wheel fix, paintless dent removal, stone chip touch up and even re-die of leather interiors. This guy was mobile and most dealers have a hook up for someone like described!
