Id try somewhere else. A bend like that especially when its just on the inner lip, is easily fixed. I have had much worse on the outer lip of a real 3 piece rim fixed. The below rim is perfectly true, with no wobble whatsoever.








This was from a different pothole, and my local guy fixed it for $100. Definitely try somewhere else, and save that wheel as a spare.

Better than losing your car to a sink hole in Philly. Go to Mayor Street and tell him to hire his family to fix the holes.

I had a wheel crack and an oxygen sensor knocked out by potholes, write a letter to the city, include receipts for repair, detail, and pics (I didn't send pics) it may take a while but after 5 months I had a check from them. you pay your taxes now make them pay for the damage THEY caused by not maintaining their streets

Shit thats nothing (still sucks though). I shouldve been on this board when I owned my civic.

ever hit a pothole that rips 2 spokes off the rim, bends it, and cracks your axle in half?

yeah that wasnt fun or cheap.
