what can i do???
when i drive it sounded like me tires were coming off so i checked my rims and saw that the lip part was bent from all the dips and holes in LA streets. is there anything i can do to repair it?
another question is how do 17s look with stock springs cuz i wanna go back to stock springs from 1.5f 1.75r.

Rep Power: 393 what kind of rims? its usually just better to replace them then to get it fixed...
I think i was quoted $150 to fix my 18s by a shop in north hollywood. I can buy new ones for a little bit more.

Rep Power: 0 If you get them fixed. They will get bent again over time. Best policy is to get quality (name brand) and realistic size (17" or less) wheels. Any larger, you will not have enough rubber to absorbe the impact shocks of potholes and dips on the road during normal driving conditions.
