if it's a painted alloy rim, yes definitely, and for about 75/rim.
if you're backhandedly referring to your EXE's, meh thats gonna take a bit more work, and money.

Wow that some sick curbage, when i drove my brothers IS i make sure i park pretty far from the curb.. then again anything can be fixed as long as you have money. Like others said take it to a rim shop and ask them.

Yeah it's curbed. I don't know if theres any places around pittsburgh that could do it. thanks guys.
Worst case, I buy a new rim and use the old one as a spare

if it's chrome, expect to spend $250-$300 (and take a couple weeks), if painted/machined, around 100-150 and a day or two
