$%^&%& bent rim!! well i JUST got my tt2's put on the car and not even a week later my car manages to find the biggest pot hole in north carolina. it was night time and i didnt even see it. i bent the front one just on the lip. its not very bad and its only the lip of the wheel. i have driven slowly on a smooth surface and dont notice any abnormal bouncing or vibrating or anything.. so is this dangerous to drive on? the tire hasnt lost any air. the bend maybe 2 inches long the lip and MAYBE an 1/8th inch in if even that.. sorry no pictures to post. dangerous or not
take it to a tire shop and have them check it to make sure it's going to hold air for ya, and also that you didn't hurt the tire, BUT don't just go to any tire shop and let them try to straighten that wheel. take it to someone that actually does wheel straightening. trust me, i'm a service manager for a tire/service center and you don't want just some random tire guy trying it with your wheel because the end result most likely won't be pretty.
if it's like he says and not that bad. you can use the dog bone tool with no issue.
They used it on mine and it looked just fine. no problems at all. post a pic of the bend, i'm sure that its an easy fix.
