inner lip or outer lip? The inner lip can be repaired rather easilly, but do to the flush face nature of the wheels, the outer face lip may not be so simple with the spokes and all lining up with the lip.

damn. were you driving it when this happened? or do you not remember the incident causing the rim to bend? that must've been a hell of a hit.

yeah..drive on LA roads and there's like a 70% chance that you will hit a crazy pothole. i took a look at it and it's not too bad, but there's a very small crack that i'm pretty sure is the cause to my problem. i think my tire might have been a little low on air as well. funny thing is i remember hitting a hole pretty badly a wihle back, but my tire didn't start leaking til recently. *shrug*

this town isn't that bad. in the downtown area there's a lot of uneven pavement but that's about it. i'm always on the lookout for holes. just cos i don't live in OC.
