Hello all. I just noticed today that one of my rims is bent. No idea how or why this happened. Based upon the attached photos, I presume this is something I will need to get fixed? Is this a job for Lexus, or a tire store? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

you should definitely get that fixed. a bent rim can cause noticeable vibrations when driving and potentially create issues with the tire holding air. i'd look for a speciality shop to fix it. out in socal, a fixed bent rim will run you around 100-120. a lot of tire stores stay away from bent/cracked rims because of liability issues, so try looking for a place that specializes it in

Looks like it hit on the weakest part of the rim. Luck of the draw... or something like that.

I have something very similar on one of my back rims. I have wheel and tire insurance so i will be having that fixed next time im at the dealer for service.

Thanks for the input. Figured as much--I'll check around with some wheel shops around me.
