I have a bigg assed wrench that is made just for that purpose. Breake it down and bring it to the Mitty and we can fix it. I will try and post a pic later.

Just saw the How It's Made article for Wheels America in the May 2011 issue. I can't really afford to now, but when I find a job, I will be able to quickly save up and have them fix this wheel as well as all four stock wheels which see winter use and have peeling paint and some curb rash. At $109 a wheel, it's cheaper than replacements unless I find good used wheels by a matter of luck.

If you have any car dealerships in your town, chances are there is a "wheel guy" that comes around and fixes stuff like that. The trick is finding him as the dealerships usually want you to pay them so they can profit on the markup. Have you tried the yellow pages?

How old are you dude? We use google now. Just kidding. I'll do some digging and see if I can find a local wheel guy. I saw that Wheels America has a branch in Grand Rapids. That's a bit far from me, but mayhaps their service makes rounds as far out as my neck of the woods should I not be able to extract the dealers secret wheel connection. Plus if I don't mention my stock alloys, they might be more understanding of me wanting to fix an aftermarket wheel since I can't buy a replacement through them.
Thanks for the tip.
