Front right rim took a hard hit today from small but deep pothole. Think this is fixable, or is a new rim in order? I don't track the car so just street use. Image Unavailable, Please Login
If doesn't leak air not a big deal. Looks pretty minor, probably $50-60 to bend it back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Very fixable by any wheel shop. When I used to live and drive in NJ, I bend a wheel like this or worse 1x or 2x a winter.
Chris, same thing happened to me. Take it to wheel wizard in Atlanta. It will be a couple hundred bucks but will look new when done. I have bent 2 rims. They are the best.
Thanks for the responses. I feel better that my $15 pizza lunch run didn't actually cost me a $1000 rim. Andy, thanks for the reco on Wheel Wizard. It hit so hard, I was sure I broke the front suspension. Drove ok rest of the way home but I was only a few miles away and all low speed neighborhoods streets. Still going to have my go to mechanic pull the wheel and look around before any spirited driving just to make me feel better.
Chris, when you go to Wheel Wizard (3695 Longview Dr, Atlanta, GA 30341) watch for the signs for the place. It is kind of hidden and does not look like much a place (very industrial building) but they know what they are doing and do great work. They have to take the tire off, heat up the rim and bend it back then they will repaint it (trust me I had my doubts but now am considering taking all my rims there for painting once they start looking a bit tired). I was amazed at the results, FOA were the ones who told me to take my rim there.
