I hit a major pothole few days ago and it bent one of my rims..... how can i fix my rim without buying a new rim???????

 

Find a wheel repair shop around you and get an estimate on how much it would be to repair. How bad is the bend? Post a pic up if you can. Most bends are repairable without having to replace the rim.

 

a new rim is about $500

 

That's definitely looks like it can be repaired. Look for quotes at wheel/rim places. Shops in my area will probably charge no more than $200 for that. I bent my wheel the first week I got the car parking too close to the curb, the bend took up 1/3 of the wheel but since my wheel is black, it blended in. Shops wanted like $150 to fix it but I can't tell, not leaking any air, and I am planning to get wheels in the future so I didn't get it fixed.

 

That bend definitely looks repairable. Around CA i'm sure places would repair that for $100-$150. Not sure in Maryland though, i'm sure rim repair isn't as big of a business there as it is here in CA But definitely see if there's any places around you and try and get quotes.

 

Definitely repairable!

 

thank you guys for all the help... i found one in NC that will repair it for $200 with shipping and turn around ship same day they receive it ))

 

well, it cost around $50 to repair in my area So-Cal

 

What brand of the rim is that? How hard, How deep was it when you hit that pothole?

 

looks like a vossen

 

definitely repairable. You're lucky you didn't hit a pot hole with some JDM rims like Work that has anodized lip which will cost alot more...

 

Nice guess!!!!!!

 

VOSSEN WHEELS VVS086. I was driving up north on the turnpike doing about 80 MPH and it was around midnight didn't see the pothole when I was switching lanes.

 

I know thank god. I love my wheels but work rims are sexy tho

 

craiglist rim repair should work.. really cheap like 200-300 dollars. still better than buying a new rim
