Well, a 3' pot hole took out my right front stock rim last night on my tC. Sent me into a several 360's and ended up in the ditch (was snowing pretty heavy which is why I slid so much). Anyways, after getting pulled out of the ditch and getting home, I see my tire has gone flat.

TPMS did nothing by the way, no warning or anything. The rim is bent and is not allowing any air into the tire so I swapped the spare on. Anyways... I'm interested in buying a stock rim possibly unless this can be repaired.

I would perhaps think about getting new wheels and tires but money isn't superfluous at the moment. Here are some shots of the bend.

hey there check your local area for any wheel repairs
that can be fixed, unless theres a crack...
in my area its about 75 dollars to get that fixed
round it and balance the wheel
good luck to ya

yeah, yeah, that happens when you watch tv while driving... lol.. j/k I would get that fixed, its on the inside lip and you wont ever see the repair once its on the car...

good luck

Bleh, I called everywhere, the only place that does wheel repair is quoting 150-200 for the repair. :( How much would a new wheel be from parts at my dealership do you guys think?

I wouldnt get it from the dealer, unless you are just looking to throw many away. I saw a bunch of tC rims on ebay. Im guessing they are selling them because they changed to custom rims. Definitely look on ebay.

Also a tip, call the city in which the pot-hole took out your
rim, it's good that you have photos as proof. You can
threaten small claims and get them to buy you a replacement

It's a PITA to get it done, but for the effort you get your
rim and tire replaced rather then paying to have it done.

Chances are that rim is not repairable. That much of a bend,
even if they could true it up, would be a hazard from the
stress of bending it the way it is, and then bending it back.
