Potholes & Bent Rim(s) in NoVA

Here in Northern Virginia, there's been a lot of potholes because of the salt on the roads and massive snow storm here. Sadly, I've bent my rims on my 2007 NBP Acura TL Type-S.

Does anybody know of a good wheel repair shop in NoVA? Any good experiences? And average cost/ turn around time?

My short term plans are to swap the bent rims to the back until I can find a good wheel repair shop.

Thnx!

I ordered a new rim from Phenix Wheels. It's a OEM refurb but it looked like new. $160 with shipping for an 04 TL

I've heard of people getting the state/county to pay for the wheel. But I don't know the process on how they got them to do so. Maybe contact DOT?

hey guys i got the same problem as op. and its really getting onto my nerves except one of my rim is bented and is causing vibrations in the 50-60mph range and is really annoying and i was wondering if anyone know a good site or place to get a new OEM 06 RIM.

Currently im looking at ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...Q5fAccessories
and this seems like a good price for jsut one OEM RIM, not sure if its Enkei that they are selling. and also i was looking at Delray Acura site and they were selling their's for around $230. and none seem to list what the manufacture is, or does that not matter that much?

also since the 2006 TL's have TMPS, i dont need to buy anything else to replace my OEM rim with a new one and all i would need is just the rim?

thanks guys.
