Driving down Hwy 101 in the dark of the early morning.
Headlights piercing the darkness ahead, I ease off the throttle for the Los Carneros exit.

BAM!!

From out of nowhere a new pothole targets my right front SSR Competition wheel and hits like an alligator strike.

Hands gripping the wheel, my heartrate slowly drops toward normal while I realize that the car is not shaking nervously, but still rolls smothly forward, tracking straight.

A sigh of relief, I think I've dodged a bullet.

Not so!

Later I discover that the machined lip is peeled back away from the 205/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. There's a clean break in the aluminum alloy lip at the base of the bend.

Heartbreak!

The dilemma? These wheels, SSR Competition Silver, 17x7.5, are no longer manufacturered. They cost $350.00 each. Seems as though none are on the shelf anywhere. Not with distributors, not on ebay, not on Craigslist. So I now have $1100.00 worth of alloy wheels that are scrap because I can't complete a rolling set.

This all leads me to two questions:

1) Is this kind of damage repairable?
2) Here's the really creative part:

A similar situation happened a couple years ago. A construction brick looming in the darkness takes out my two right-side wheels, leaving me holding two good ones that are identicle to the current set except they are 16-inch instead of 17-inch.

Is it possible to combine my remaining good hardware and run mismatched sizes?

I know this is probably a goofy idea, but I'm trying to avoid throwing away $1750.00 worth of good wheels and starting with a clean slate.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
