I know which pot boles you're talking about. The highway is messed up there.

Now I have to decide if I should get it fixed or just get a new rim!
I think it's about the same price. Anyone know a good rim shop? One that will sell one or two rims at a time.

Thank you, I'll check them out and see what they can do for my hyper chrome rims. That's the hard part. I have chrome rims with a layer of something dull over it, so it's not so shinny.

I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks again!

I got my bent rim fixed at wheel techniques. They did a really good job. However, it was pretty expensive (upward of $200) and it took a while (3-4 weeks). It might be cheaper to get a new rim if you can.

ya that does suck i had something similiar happen 3 weeks ago, imagine going down the highway about 70 some idoit has dropped tons of 4x4 and 2x4 of across the whole highway and theres nothing to do but run over it with you 20 inch foose speedstars and 225/30/20 tire let me tell you thats not a pretty picture. Is there anyway you could get the state to pay becasue of the conditions of the road? or who ever is in control of those roads?
