I've recently hit a huge pot hole when I was driving in the rain. Now the rim is slight bent, but there is no air leaking.
I was wondering if there is a good rim repair shop in the Bay Area I could go to.
Thanks

Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara is supposedly the best, I think that's where everyone with the super expensive or rare rims go, but I think it can get pricey.

What kind of rims do you have? I think fixing a bent rim can cost anywhere from $100-200. It might be cheaper just to get a new rim.

Wow $100-$200 for rim repair?
I just have some fairly cheap ADR's. hmmm I might as well buy a new rim.
Is there anywhere else thats cheaper?

I just googled this: http://fixrim.com/wheel.htm

It says $129 per wheel in Union City...

If you're not leaking air and there's no vibration, you'll probably OK if it doesn't look too bad...

i have ADR SZ1's. They are black with a silver lip. They're not that expensive, so I might end up buying a new rim.

It was like $180 to get my wheel repaired at Wheel Techniques. Sucked considering the wheel cost me $165... but I couldn't get another one... so... yeah. :tap:

Get another wheel... probably the best bet.
