Bent Rim...Can it be fixed?
Well I was walking out to my car this morning when I saw that my wheel was bent. I have no idea how it happened and cannot think of any crazy driving that could have caused it. Well here are the pics, I would like to know if you guys think it can be fixed and if so where can I take it?

Yes, it could be straightened. The metal, if heated and spun, will want to return to its original shape when gently "persuaded" with a rubber mallet or similar tool.
If you are in the SF Bay Area, try Rite Way in Walnut Creek. If not in the area, contact a business that specializes in wheel refinishing.

Is it www.wheelcollision.com in Bath, PA? I had them refinish my Racing Hart 3-piece wheels and they did an amazing job.

you can also try www.fixrim.com or www.fixarim.com (socal only). my bro is getting his 20" work wheel back from wheels america today. cost is $129 for anything and everything on a wheel that is repairable (except chroming, which is extra). i had two different brands of wheels repaired at tru-wheel for around the same price.
