apparently my stock rim is bent and keeps leaking out air...anybody know of a good cheap shop i can get this fixed at? preferably in the 909/626 area. thanks in advance.

 

not really sure if stock rims "bend" persay... might wanna check if it's cracked...

but http://www.wheel-repairs.com/

 

got my rim fixed there...fast good job

 

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.

 

its actually the inner lip..if you're referring to the part that can't be seen. the lip got cracked on the inside of the rim. is this repaired easily? how much would it cost approximately? thanks again

 

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.

 

southern california potholes suck - and so do a lot of the roads here.

you live in chula vista - you should know that.

 

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.

 

i went to UCSD for the last 4 years - not hatin' on SD, it just doesn't have great roads either.
