To be completely honest with you, if they cannot fix your wheel then its trashed. Im good friends with the people who own that shop and they do not BS you. They are the most honest people you could deal with regarding auto repair as 9 times out of 10 they will tell people to just buy a new wheel instead of having it repaired since most aftermarket wheels that people own are 125 to 200 bucks a wheel. There's no sense in paying 100 bucks to repair a wheel that costs 150 new.

What kind of wheels are they? No offense, but unless they are higher end wheels (above 1000 bucks JUST for the wheels) or they arent made anymore, you should usually just buy another wheel.
