<p><font size="2"><font size="3">At $441 each, the aluminum alloy
wheels on our long-term BMW M3 cost more than the first cars of a
couple of gray-beard staffers around here. Worse, when combined with a
thin sidewall of a 40-series tire, a Michigan pothole can prove fatal
to these zooty wheels. We know- in seven months, potholes bent 5 of our
M3 rims.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font size="3"> In the past, we'd be stuck for the
price of new wheels. Now comes the WHEEL COLLISION CENTER of Bath,
Pennsylvania, a four year old company that says it can repair bent,
cracked, gouged, or broken aluminum wheels. Since his patents were
pending at this time, company president Daryl Robbins wouldn't pass out
the recipe for his process. But basically, Robbins said controlled heat
is used to soften the wheel, and special machines then reshape it. The
last step is to completely refinish the wheel.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font size="3">We sent one of our wounded wheels,
crunched at the outer top edge of the rim, to the Wheel Collision
Center. The repaired wheel we received back looked <b>as good as new.</b>
In addition, extensive testing at Lehigh University demonstrated that
the strength and shape of a wheel repaired by Robbins' company equaled
the original's.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font size="3"> Repair costs vary, though $100 to
$150 perwheel appears to be in the ballpark. Ours set us back $138.25.
The phone number is <b>1-800-292-RIMS(7467)."</b></font></font></p>
