Unhappy Illinois Roads Suck!!!

Well I was driving home Friday night from a retirement party in East Peoria in my 2006 Nissan Se-R. When some jerk was all over my a$$. So close that I couldn't see his headlights in my Rearview mirror. So I change lanes, thats when I hit a pot hole. Well the jerk was one of East Peoria's finest Cops. So today the dealership was open today so they come to where I work and pick up the car. They called me back with the bad news about an hour ago. Telling me its going to be $1700.00 to fix, maybe more. 2 bent rims and the alignment is screwed up. $1500.00 of that was my rims. Holly Crap!!! Well thank god for insurance. So my question is Does anyone know of a good rim shop in Illinios that will fix the damaged rims so I can resell them to regain my deductable?? One is bent and the other tweeked causing the rim to move back and forth from right to left. Or can they even be fixed?

i work for discount tires, we send all our damaged wheels to a company called keystone not sure where they are located. if one is just a bend in the rim that can probably be fixed but the one that has a bend tat makes it wobble back and forth is probably not repairable

Rims were replaced by the Insurance Company. Damn those rims were expensive. Glad State farm picked up the bill.

I don't mind the roads being under construction, but damn does it really take that f*ckn long. In PA, they start one project and done in 2 weeks.
