hey guys, i was dropping my dad to the airport 4 am this morning. i was really tired and hit a curb. theres no curb or scuff marks. but the rim looks a little bent. its noticeable from close up. my car only has 1000 miles and this already happened. should i buy a new rim? is this gonna cause more problems. or take it to a rim shop?
thank you guys please help...

IMO, if its bent AT ALL, i do not rec. to drive it on, its not going to get better
but i can get alot worse
there is NO warranty on rims/tires from Toyota/Scion
tires are warrantied from the tire manufacturer

no problem
driving on a bent/damaged rim can cause issues with the tire, so when you replace the rim, inspect the tire make sure nothing was damaged on it

You can have the wheel fixed. We have a guy that comes into our dealership to fix curbed wheels.

Always remember, your health and life when you're driving rests on those 4 wheels that touch the ground. Bent = catatrophe waiting to happen. I would suggest you go into the market for aftermarket wheels like tC_kevin said. :P
You can always check eBay .. there's alots of OEM wheels for sale on eBay and at pretty goood prices.

I say drive it until you rim flys off and then get a new!! :rofl:
I'm just joking!! I agree with the rest of the ppls on here, get a new one. It will cause you more problems if you don't!!
