Replace Wheel? Well I needed new BFG DR's so I ordered them and had them put on today. So while waiting to have them put on they call me in the back to tell me one of my rims is bent. I knew I hit a lip of concrete one time and that the lip of my rim smacked the concrete (tire squished and rim hit) while pulling into Checker. So I got out, I saw a black mark where the tire squished and allowed the lip of the rim to hit. Though I never really felt or saw anything wrong with it.
Anyways I'm not losing any PSI. If you were looking at it you can't tell anything is wrong with it. Should I replace the wheel or not? Of course the guys at Discount said I should. If so I'll just get a whole new set of rims since the ones I orginaly wanted are out now.

You can take the rim to/ship it to a shop that will repair the wheel and rebalance it for you. But by the time you pay shipping both ways and pay for the job it might just be cheaper to buy one new wheel.
Or just go with the whole new set now that you have a valid reason

Well I forgot there is a wheel shop that I hear can fix it. Though what do they charge, $150? By the time I take 40 mins to go over there, pay for gas and them to fix it I could have bought a new wheel. Unless it's only like $100 to fix it.
