Default Help-dented Boyd Coddington Smoothies

hello,
i have my TA lowered with BC smoothie II's on 275 35 18's. I LOVE THIS SETUP!
HOWEVER,
I just went in for my rotation and 3 out of 4 rims' inner lips are dented badly. i assume potholes. i drive my car about 6000 miles a year and dropped 2G's a year ago on these rims/tires.
i love this setup, dont get me wrong. i was told that they can be re-trued. is this true? has anyone had this done? any advice or general thoughts? am i screwd, or can i fix?
thanks guys.

As long as they arent too out of round they should be fixable. This is the problem with putting that profile tire on there your bound to bend 1 or if your not so lucky 3 good luck it can be expensive to re-true wheels.

You should be able to find someplace local to retrue them. I had to get one of my ws6 wheels retrued and it was about 80 bucks I think including tire install.

'wheel repair' or 'wheel refinishing' should get you some hits on your local online yellow pages.
