I was coming home from the bar on saturday night in the rain and there was oncoming traffic, long story short i hit a pothole and severely bent one of my 18's on the inner rim (not the outer). What should i do? I am stuck with 3 good 18's and one bad one and 4 good tires. Oh yeah, to make it all better they are chrome.

Anybody had any good rim repair experiences?

 

Pics? It may not be repairable (or may be cheaper and safer to just get a new one)

 

What kind of rim is it? (name and model)

Mine are cheaper to just replace. Might be the same in your case.

 

Ive sent 2 rims off for replacement....both w/ inner bends...Both times I ended up replacing the wheel and waiting 2-4 weeks...

 

They are MAS Italy Chrome Presidents, they are 5 spoke. I don't think that you can buy them in the states anymore, so i would have to order from the UK.





If anybody can find them it would rock.

 

damn, dude those rims are nice too. reminds me of the early 90's. Try and do a google search, you may find some online vendors that have them. Also if you find it in silver you can get it chromed. It would still be cheaper than getting one chrome one imported.

 

I'll take some pics tonight, we all like to see wrecked stuff as long as it's not ours right? On a good note i had some kumho ecsta ASX's put on my 16" rims and i love them, the ride is a lot better too.
