Bent Rim! :(

I discovered this morning that my driver's side front rim is bent!

Is there a way to repair this, or am I screwed?

Thanks

depending on where and how bad it is, it can be "bent out." Take it somewhere and see...

I have the same problem. My passanger side front rim is bent. I called some places about repair and they told me $100-$150 if they don't have to rechrome it. It would be $260 ++ if they had to rechrome it. They also said they would need the rim for about 3 days. I don't know if i should just get rid of them or have it fixed, or probably just buy a new one. Goodluck and keep me posted on what you do.

It's not bent too bad, but I think I'll just buy a new one!

This big-ass, fuckin' recessed man-hole cover jumped in front of me as I was punching the throttle!

BAM!!!!!! was what I heard! :angry:

So far, the tire has not lost air pressure. Time to order a new one!
