bent rims - LA area... Damn rain!

With the recent and constant rain in LA, I fell victim to a pothole and bent two of my rims (passenger side). Just seems to be the lip as I'm holding tire pressure and no vibration or alignment issues. Anyone know of a good wheel guy in the LA area? Might have to suck it up and buy two new rims. First two are the front rim, and last is the back rim.

Just curious, are those off-brand wheels? I've hit plenty of pretty big potholes with low profile tries but have never had a bent lip before.

I guess it depends on what you consider off-brand. They're TSW's. Part of it is probably because they're cast aluminum alloy. From what I've read (after the fact) is that TSW wheels are a little soft.
