that was not repairable?
are those cracks at both ends of the dent?
try a different shop

That is a Carrera LT ( I believe). IMHO, the best looking wheel

Those are not cracks, it's the paint peeling at that point. Tried two shops in Austin, one wouldn't touch it, the other tried but I think they tried with the tire still installed because they scuffed the sidewall nearly bald. Nice huh. I was going thru my mechanic shop here in town, they didn't charge me for the "repair" but I did have to take it to Discount Tire to get it sealed at the repair spot with bead sealer because it was leaking. The paint hadn't cured so now some nice new mars on the fresh paint.
