40th anniversary rims

Hello,

I have the 40th anniversary edition rx8. I was driving yesterday and i hit a curb (yes, i hate my life). It scratched the outside of the rim pretty bad and i was wondering if anyone knows where i could buy a single rim, or if there's some product that i can use to repair the rim.

Thanks,
Ted

Are there any come-to-your-house places in Northern Virginia or the DC burbs that you'd recommend?

Right now one of my wheels is at Wheel Worx in Millersville, MD, being treated for curb rash and a pothole bend. (Yes, I know. I should just buy a Buick and move to Florida.) Cost will be $150 for both. They've got a good reputation.

There's also a good thread here (I think in either this forum or the show and shine forum) on DIY wheel repair, with a link to a BMW site with a thorough bondo-and-paint approach to curb rash.
