Morning Roy. Just makes me sick about it. I've got one more guy I'm waiting for locally to call me back, otherwise, looks like I'm getting a rim off of ebay.

I got mine for the Lincoln last summer off eBay.... it was a junk yard and I made an offer under what he was asking and he took it rather quickly. You know, a SALE IN THE HAND......

Dang Pat, sorry to hear about you taking out the rim on Black. Ice is one mother to attempt to drive on.

Is the rim possibly repairable??? I used to use a local company to repair wheels...dents...scuff...scratches...etc.

here is the damage. For some weird reason, it's still holding all it's air. I may see if it can be fixed, but, I doubt it. Might be more to fix than replace

because it doesnt seal against the lip of the rim.. it seals along the inner surface of the rim.. after awhile of being on the rims the tires kinda "glue" themselfs there anyways.. with a chunk like that missing i wouldnt run on it.. your asking for the tire to get punctured by the edges of the rim..

That doesn't look repairable to me...but...I'm not a pro...I never tried to get something that bad fixed. Good luck!!!

I'm going to put the spare on after work. Didn't want to now since the white crap is still coming down.
