Ya, I was going about 35-40mph and couldn't avoid a pot-hole. I herd metal hit the ground. Then I entered the highway, and the car started to vibrate. Then I went to the tire shop to get an alliegnment done and noticed my two right rims had been bent on the inside part of the wheel. By the way my rims are the Bronze 16" Rota C8s, and I had just bought my rims about a month and a half a go. Buying two more rims will cost about $260, I don't really know how much it'll coast to have the rims strieghtend out. Need some advise.

Can you post some pics of the bent wheels?

 

believe it or not my buddy has a civic on 17''s and bent a rim then got the city to pay for it b/c it is their fault the road bent his rim. they issued him a chk in the mail and he bought another wheel. try that, it sounds crazy but it worked for him.

 

You might be able to get it remachined if its not too bad, otherwise youre gonna be stuck with buying other wheels.

I got one wheel remachined for 25 bucks, it was supposed to be 65 or 70 but I went up to the place and they were supposed to send it off and it was still sitting there a week or so later. They were all nervous and stuff like people yell at them a lot, but I wasn't even mad at all. Anyways they dropped the price so I was happy about that.

I'd try to do that first 260 is a lot of cash to shell out esp if you just barely bought the first set.

 

Okay I've been looking for one of these repair shops and I can't find any. Where are they located? How did you find these places?

 

you might be able to get thme to pay fot it , but its a bitch my friend tried that when his wife drove into a 3ft pothole with his wheels on it . they were fucked beyond recognition .
anyway , its cheaper to buy a new wheel or 2 thna to have thme fixed, i know thta much
