Default Bent rim.

Is it possible to straighten a bent rim, or is it not worth the trouble?

Try www.fixrim.com , they did a bent rim for me, they re-hooped it, it came out perfect, and cheaper than a new wheel. It only took 2 days too.
The company is Wheels America.

If it makes you feel anybetter I know a chick that let some drunk guy drive her car and he ended up dumping it because he shattered the rim right off the hub with the help of a curb <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

i plan on having them fix one rim for me in the future, it meet a curb, i bought it that way.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

But sometimes these rims sell for cheap enough, that you can buy a used one for what the repair will cost (approx 150 when said and done)
