from what the pics are showing it doesnt look too bad... but theres no need to be pissed... its not like your boss was like hey im gonna curb his wheels so i can lighten up my pockets 
... there are people who fixes rims out there and once fixed it will look brand new just get it re-powdercoated and clear coated... just make sure there wasnt damage to the tires cause there might be a non visible slice in the sidewall...

I feel for you bro. One side is your lovely car & rims and the other is your boss who pays you and in term allowed you to afford these goodies.
At lease he'll pay for the damages, but are you afraid that your relationship with your boss is going to go sour after this incident or something?

don't get the wheel fixed. my buddy had his wheel "fixed" and now when his car is moving, you can still see a slight warp since it was bent. get a new wheel/powdercoating job; thats what you paid for, thats what your boss destroyed, thats what you should be compensated for. replacement value of a new wheel/powdercoating.

+1 for rimpro... they are a local company and alot of people are happy with their work... however... no matter where u get the rim repaired it's never going to be the same again...
sorry dude... i know they were custom... but i would check with vendors to see whether they can get their hands on some le37s that match...

Non-Evo drivers never believe (or plan for) how crappy our turn radius is. I'm sure he was at full lock left wondering why the car wasn't turning more. I know I was the first 5 times I tried to maneuver an Evo in close.
Good luck...these things happen. And now you'll have a good office joke to throw in his face every once in a while...

I had a Volk wheel that was curbed repaired by these folks: http://www.truwheel.com
They did a fantastic job, and no matter how close I looked I could not find the repair. Quick turnaround and reasonable price ($125.00) for the extensive work that was needed. Highly recommend them.
