Hi
I have heard from many that you can't repair one-piece forged TE37s. Especially for the TE37 that is slightly bent on the edge of the rim.

Well my story starts here. Few months ago i went to track, my friend drove my car, and spinned out, he hit the curb with my fron right TE37. It came out to be slightly bent on the edge. After that i need to pump in air everyday because the bent edge is pressuring the tire, making the air leaking out to below 20psi after 1 day or 2. So my friend has to either buy me a new rim, which will cost him $450+??!!(17x8) or to fix it.
He told me he found a vendor that can fix & balance the rim, for which i have asked 2 stores that told me they coudln't.
So is it possible to fix TE37? If pictures will help i will take pictures today.
Thanks.

P.S. grammer & content edit
