What's up fellow members.

I have a problem... My ep is sitting on some 18" konig rated R and yesterday I hit a damn pot hole. Well sure enough the rim is bent and although I cant really feel vibration when I drive I believe its leaking a little bit of air besides that tire always peels out. Does any one have any solutions? should I buy just that one rim? Im located in Nor cal. Please any help would do. Tnx

Look around locally. We have some places in the area tht specialize in rim straightening. On the other hand: If it's cracked you'll need to replace it.

Try the inexpensive solutions first ;)...

mel, considering rim straightening will be close to what a new rim would cost anyway why not get a new one, its not like we're talking about volks :p but i guess with a wheel that big it is more expensive than what we have to pay having plus 0 and plus 1 sizes.....so u have a good point too.

True...but I've seen people get them fixed for $30.00. :p ;)

I would see how much it would cost to get fixed before you go buy a new one.

oh really i thought they would charge way more than that, if thats the case getting it fixed is a good idea. Anyone know how getting a rim fixed affects its stability to bend even easier?

I've been looking around for a place and the nearest one is down by LA. I'm getting a quote tomorrow and if I like I will ship it to them. They seem like a really nice company, just for the record:

Once again thanks for all of your replies.
