sorry..as i was saying..... I experienced some serious problems on the road the other night...a HUGE pot hole claimed my 2 driver side 18" rimz.......it put an identical serious dent on both of them, but it looks like the dents can get bent out.... I really need someone to let me know if there are any places that specialize in rim touch up or some sort of wheel doctor....or just anyone that sounds like they could do the job....i hate having imperfections and i need this taken care of NOW!! I HATE WINTER!!!
please PM me or IM: Modesqud84

damn stfu already about your plastic car shortie
Kman. Last year some SUV ran me off my lane (he didn't stay in his lane as the road sharply curved) so I steered straight into a pothole patch. I was able to drive around but air was slowly leaking out. I went to this ghetto Firestone wheel shop and they "unbent" my rim using a mallet. lol. This was back when I had konig Livewire 17's.
I didn't want to keep the rims any longer because they are damaged. You could pay to have your rims repaired, but they are already damaged. Once bent, their structure already weakened. Try it on a wire hanger (bend it once and straighten it out again, then see how easier it is to bend a 2nd time).
eventually I went and put on rims that were in storage. My tires got slashed so I figure instead of buying new tires for damaged rims, I just bought tires for my 18s and slapped those suckaz on. Good thing this was in the Spring.
Just look in your yellow pages "auto repair". call some shops up Sorry long post

thats totally not true.
wheels can be repaired to new. better then new. any wheel can be fixed except for magnesium(sp) ones.

Rep Power: 0 sue the city for the damage. If it's a one piece rim, its gonna be hella hard to get it fixxed. If you find a place thats willing to fix it, it prob cost u around $75. Getting one of my old Rims fixxed and selling the set for $300 to a friend.

Rep Power: 306 I just dropped off one of my rims to get fixed. It had 2 places where it was bent. It is a one piece rim, and they charged me 45$ 
. He said however though, in the areas where it was bent, there will be a slight discoloration or somethin like that. Anyone knows what he means by that? or is that true? Do your rims get scratched up a lil bit due to them fixing the "dents"?
