Has anyone ever had an aftermarket rim fixed? one of my 19" inspyres is bent on the inside, it holds air but leaks out after a few days. I can't seem to find anywhere local to fix it, but I did just inquire with a place in ohio for a quote...

One guy hung up on me after I told him it was a 19" aftermarket wheel...

I know driving with an off-balance wheel is no good for the suspension or drivetrain and need to get this fixed asap...

I'm wondering if the wheel is not fixable, if I should just try fix-a-flat to get it to seal, balance it and hope for the best... or, buy a new one which I really don't want to do..

this is what I get for having 32psi of pressure

most wheels are fixable unless the rim is just flat out annihilated. u just need to locate a shop to fix it and definitely don't need to buy a new one. there are a ton of shope out here in cali that do rim repair. in your worst case scenario, if u can't find a shop, contact wheels america and ship the rim out here to get it fixed and they'll ship it back. probably not be too cost effective if u have to ship it but they'll send it back to you like new.

Try a big rubber mallet from home depot; something you can do yourself as long as you know how to use a hammer

Try wheel collision center in Bath PA. I had two, bent 3 piece RJ devotions fixed there. they also disassembled and re-sealed them.

Excellent work.
