Default Bent rim but no vibration (pic)

Hit a pot hole on a highway going about 70mph.. no flat somehow.. but noticed my rim is bent.. or maybe it's my eyes. See pic. No vibration .. worth fixing? I have wheel protection. Bent rim but no vibration (pic)-photo733.jpg

I hit a pot hole but didn't have a flat. I have the wheel package too. Took it to Lexus to get it fixed just this week. They replaced it with a new one instead..!

I definitely see the bend. Get it replaced especially since intruder got his replaced for free.

Sweet! Must feel nice to make use of the wheel protection insurance.

Check with the dealership first, then your state. I destroyed a GTI rim once, damn near ripped the wheel off the car. The town covered the cost of the wheel repair and new tire.
