Hello guys, wife was driving along in the XR5 and an ambulance come up behind her, in an effort to get out of the way of the ambulance she rimbashed one of her rims really really badly
  anyway I need this rim either repaired or if its too badly nailed replaced, so I thought I would post it here to see if anybody has any info in regards to the rims <sigh>

ahh that sounds bad -
I scratched the ****** out of one of my rims a few years back and Bob Jane (who sold me the tyres) said they can repair them, but it was almost the same price as replacing the rim. Maybe worth giving them and or Ford a call? Good luck with it

I think you'll find that they're about $1300 a corner from ford. I could be wrong but I do know it's stupid expensive.
Sign up on fordxr5turbo.com and keep an eye out for some in the classifieds. They average about $1000 for a set of four. A spare set could come in handy for any trackdays or anything else. Keep in mind too that there are subtle differences between the LS/LT rims and the LV rims. Good luck.

They are ridiculously expensive each...I'm not even going to bother getting a price for you as they will be well over $1000 each...
Speak to a local wheel repairer and get a quote....some that I can think of off the top of my head are Rims as new Virgin Rims Or, I just got mine repaired and repainted under insurance through Motor 2000 in pennant hills, but he sent them off site to somewhere I have no idea where...but 2 wheels were about $400 to paint... |

Insurance?
Also go and speak to a crash repairer, one of our salesmen gutter rashed a brand new cars alloy, we took it to the crash repairer and had them fill and spray it.
