places that fix wheels and a machine that is the shape or i guess takes the shape of the barrel in what ever size wheel it is and they can add aluminum to it and it all gets melted together and then they sand and polish the whole lip so its all like new again, i had one of my billet boyd wheels fixed that had chunks missing out of it and you could never tell where it was damaged before, send me some high res pics of the wheel and ill see if i can email them to the guy and see how much to fix it

Let me elaborate; I was making a right hand turn, did not even think to look left and pulled right out in front a guy hauling a lawn mower trailer. The trailers fender drug down the entire side of my car and the edge of it caught the lip of the wheel and tore a chunk right out. When the fender hit the wheel, it lifted the trailer and brought the fender right into the side of my fender and sliced it like cheese.

Back to your accident - glad you were OK and how bad was the damage to your Mustang? Did the entire driver's side get wiped out?

Yep, whole drivers side. Luckily though the rear quarter panel was able to be repaired, so no cutting and welding had to be done there, whew. My bodyshop guy asked me if he could hang my fender on his wall, because it is the worst one he's ever seen.The car is like a Phoenix though, it always rises from the ashes better than before. But I have discovered that I am nowhere near as good a driver as I used to think, so I have a nice new car cover sitting in the garage to help extend my cars life
