Bent Rim!!! Repairable?
Well... hit a curb on a rainy night and bent my LE-37s!!!! Man im pissed. The outer lip is visibly bent... dont know about the rest of the rim. Im guessing it is from the impact.
My question - has anybody had their aftermarket rims repaired? Is it possible? Id like to explore my options before having to order another rim.
Any places you guys recommend?

Yes, wheels can be repaired, depending on the damage. You should do a search on the net to try to find someone local to you, and save some in shipping cost.
If you have a picture of the bend, post it up so someone can see and give you a better idea if YOURS is repairable.
From the way you have explained, it probably just a "small" bend that can be easily bent back into shape.
The metal maybe weaken once bent and maybe even more weakened after repaired -something to watch out for in more future pot holes.

hey man
i work at goodyear, and i see this all the time. You can fix it by beating it back into shape but there are going to be no guarentees that it wont crack, so your taking basically a 50/50 on it. But the next option you can probably try is Hubcap Haven or Heaven...one of the two. Anyways what they do is they refinish your wheel as best as they can but it depends on the severity of the bend. Good Luck!!
