    Probably 10-12 cars over the course of the day. They had a touring and an m3, so it was cool to check those out. Most of the guys are autocrosser (Fox Calley Sports Car Club), so it was mostly race cars and hangin out at the shop on a Sunday afternoon. [image: ]

    http://www.milwaukeetrackdays.com/   Next one is Aug 21st. This past one had 44 cars but a lot of them had left by the 3rd session. The one thing I will say is fuel and water is a PIA. You need to bring your own water, there really are no concessions or even vending machines around. While there are gas stations nearby you don't have a lot of time between sessions to get fuel.   Here's a full length session. Great to watch if you can't sleep at night...you'll be out by the 5th minute! http://youtu.be/SXSRqJp0Nxw

    Earl said: If the wheel is bent bad enough to not hold air, you may be better off sourcing one that is straight. Straightening an oem wheel with that much damage will almost surely cost more than finding a non-bent one to replace it. Do you have a picture of said wheel? It holds air but it just slowly leaks. I don't have a picture and even if I did you wouldn't be able to tell from the picture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I sent mine to Sergys house of wheels down in IL.  Look him up on Facebook.  I tried a few local places and they said my very mild bend on my HRE's was un-fixable.  They also wouldn't split the 3 piece to do a proper powercoat.  Sergy, fixed, dissassembled, powdered, and re-assembled.
