Default Bent Axis Rim

I have the 19 inch Axis Seven Mods and my front driver side wheel has a nasty dent from hitting a bad pot hole in Phoenix.. What would be a method of fixing this? Would it just be better to replace the rim?? The place I got them from said they have warranty but then they wont do nothing about it since it doesnt cause the tire to lose pressure.. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

replace the rim, you can't replace any part of the wheel because its a one piece

Same thing happened to my Axis Widetrack wheel. I haven't done anything to fix it though. I have no money left because I bought them!

there are companies that fix these wheels... what they do is drive out to you (well I know they drive out to shops) and they take the rim in their big work van and spin it and slowly moves/bends it back... I bet it depends on how severe the bend is but yours doesn't sound that bad so I bet you could get it done for fairly cheap... hope that made some sense to ya...
