I destroyed one of my OZ SLs going to fast over some railroad tracks down off pacos street and was thinking if I can get this wheel repaired I might keep it as a full size spare

That must have been one nasty impact.

I don't know anything about them though, or their quality. I had to get the information from them about a customers car that we're repairing. The auto body shop said they mainly do OEM alloy wheels, but I guess it can't hurt to give them a call.

Hope this helps.

He said yesterday he hit the tracks at 70!

I did ask about your wheel and they sound like they might be able to fix it. Again, I've never used them, but on the phone they seemed pretty knowledgable.

Woody's Wheel Works offers some types of wheel straightening, however that damage is quite severe. They're located off South Platte, I'll have the tele # for you in the morning.

My Uncle had his bent Breyton repaired by Woody, and I had my 19's mounted and balanced there. They repaired the wheel quickly, and to spec. Prices were more than fair, service is outstanding.

Highly recommended.

I've had two slightly out-of-round rims fixed beautifully there; and a couple curb checks cleaned-up; but I spent $245 getting one straightened recently (and it took them a full week). It's straight, and clean, but I might have been better off just buying another new one.
Woody's does good work, and I'd rcommend them (and have) without misgivings; but it's hard to make a jacked-up wheel look and run like new again.

But it all depends on the situation.

I think my Uncle paid $150 to have his wheel repaired. He bought a replacement before he knew about Woody's, so now he's going to use the repaired wheel as a full size spare.

At times I can see how it can be difficult to justify cost to repair- But when it's $150 to fix a wheel vs. throwing out that wheel (which initially cost $550), it's a little easier to pay up a little bit of scratch to have a 5th wheel on hand. However... sometimes there are wheels that are just beyond repair, or where the cost to repair = the cost to replace. In those cases, I completely agree- It's better to just get a new, straight true wheel.

Thinking about unloading my 18" MasItalys (which 2 are bent) and my 16s and getting some new 17s...trying to figure out what to do with the 18s aside from get them refinished, which, for the price I could get a new set of rims.
