Can't repair that tire though.
This. Call a mobile repair guy. They do magic.

I had a wheel done that my wife did and it looks new. It was $200 but can't tell it from the others.

You could just get all 4 painted black. This would probably only cost about 600.

I am sure a few inches of duct tape could fix that.

On a serious note, it's only the tire and wheel. Worst case if it were the body panels.

I work around the corner from a Ferrari Maserati dealer. Saw a truck picking up wheels for repair, got their number. Went to the shop with the wheel and they are going to repair. Let you know how it goes.

I wasnt expecting anything perfect but this wheel repair was pretty close. They TIG welded the wheel to fill the gaps, painted, machined, and clear coat. $150 bucks, highly recommend this shop, Elite Rim in Plainview NY. I will post Close up pix tomorrow.

Well, at least it is fixed. Now she owes you one. Just put that in the bank for next time when you forgot about her birthday or anniversary or something like that.
