Default just ran over a brick in the road! and messed up my rim, got a few Q's...

ok, it was so dark outside and on my way home, i ran over a brick. it bent my stock 13" rim in, towards the brakes, and since the rim was bent, it made the tires go in with it also. so now when i drive, i can feel it wabole and stuff...and i just got new tires...so what i'm asking is, can i just replace the rim? the tires seem fine, but it just looks like the tire is bent in with the rim

well... in that case its time for wheel upgrades....lightweight 15" or 16",..like the old rule of thumb saying "if it aint broke dont fix it"...

or..

If your 13" are steelie then get a use 13" steelie from your local H-T member!!
