I know that car dealers routinely have wheels repaired without taking =
the tires off when prepping used cars for resale. I have seen it done =
on a certified used car I purchased and wasn=E2=80=99t a problem. As =
long as it is just cosmetic damage - which as others have noted, appears =
to be the case here - the repair should be fine. It probably won=E2=80=99=

t cost near as much either.
