I am picking up a set or C4 Zr1 Rims and Tires, but one of the rims has a small bent lip on it. The guy I am buying them from just had new tires put on them and he said they mounted and balance fine and do not leak.
I am kinda worried as I will have these tires up to around 160 mph and wanna make sure there safe. So, should it be fixed and if so can anyone point me in the direction of a good wheel place to fix this?

everywhere, they might come and pick it up.. Im not positive about that, they used to come to my old shop and pick up wheels that where damaged from wrecks and bring them back.. they went up to there Dallas shop for there repairs so it cant be to far from you.
Just google there site.. i dont know that they are a sponsor so i don't wana give a link.

Thanks, I found out last night that they changed locations. The shop is also listed under a new name online; Rollo's Solutions. I went there today to drop off my wheel, the sign and the business cards still say 3 Piece Wheel Repair. Kinda confusing. I should be picking up my wheel Saturday though, just hope it's ready.

Finally picked up my wheel today, it was supposed to be ready on Saturday, took longer than they told me. The bent lip is definitely better than before, but if I run my finger on the outer lip I can still kinda feel the bent. I also just noticed a new 1/2" gash. Won't be going back to them in the future.
