ok, last night going about 30mph i hit this big *** pothole, my cd skipped and all and I thought that maybe it just knocked my alignment off. Well i checked this morning and the lip of my rim is bent, not terribly bad..but from what i can see it is. I checked my struts, control arms and everything and it doesnt look like anything is damaged. i did search found nothing But my question is...is there any way to repair the rim? any shop could do it? thanks for any help

You really shouldn't repair aluminum wheels... they tend to crack. If its just the lip and the bead is still sealed, sometimes a shop can press the lip back straight, but if its bad enough that the rim isn't holding air, then I'd definately replace it.

ya some shops can do it but i agree^^^ not recomended but if it is not bad it could have thrown your tire outa balence too

i definately know the tires out of balance...and it seems that the tires still holding air (checked it read 32psi..had it filled at 35 at week and a half ago). But i dont know, ill probably end up replacing it..ahhhh, thank goodness for christmas money, thanks for the help guys
