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...
You can check out riteway wheels donw in Walnut Creek. Jose has fixed my rims multiple time....

How much did he charge you?
I actually didnt pay last time but I think its around 75-150 depending on kind of damage. He does awesome work. What kind of wheels/damage?

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.
