Repair or buy New?

New, different isn't much. I would assume that the repaired barrel would be more susceptible to being bent again?

A scratch is ALOT different from a bent barrel!

Also I think you answered your own question. LOL

Sell the wheels for cheap.

By forged rays.

And never crack a wheel again

ha ha i like how you think its just this wheel that does it
Any wheel will crack if hit hard enough or put under extreme stress, the amount of Forgestar wheels sold vs Failure in percentage is low

Cor wheels on a GTR and cracked 6 out of 7 spokes after a few track days

Forgestar wheels are ultimately for riding around a looking nice. COR has a performance lineup and totes a pretty big client base. That doesn't make either of them immune to a catastrophic event. Hitting a pothole at cruising speed could be fatal to tires, wheels and suspension. Hitting the extensions on the track (at who knows what speed)................I am sure that you know where this is going.

On that note, I would take Rays/Volk over COR anyday. But then I would also look into Work, WedSport, and HRE as well. But continue with Forgestar talk, please.

Buy a new wheel.
I'm a stickler for a repair to be perfect.
What is the guarantee that the repair and powdercoat
with match your other wheels perfectly?
I had a similar situation when I owned a 350Z. My wife badly
scraped a front wheel. I just bought a new one due fears of
the repair not matching.
Bud,in the long run,how long to you plan on keeping your Z?
150 bucks is not a lot of money.
