Bent rim
Well **** goes like this. I was pulling out of a street here close to home and and well a person runs the red light and I half to jump the curb to not hit them. And now my Rear passenger rim has a weird bend. and I am SUPER pissed. I really hate dumbass drivers that hurt my car.
I am not sure what to do yall. Any help please tell me. I NEED HELP. the tire is NOT going flat or losing air. But its ugly

Do you have a better pic of the entire wheel?
Only reason I'm asking is to determine if it's feasible to fix, or better off to replace. |

I had a bent rim. R front and was bent on the inside. Not as bad of a bend as yours, but I took it to a local Chevy dealership. They took it of gave me a loner and sent it to be repaired. Had it back 3 days later. $232.47 for the repair and 4 wheel alignment.

By asking for a pic of the whole wheel, I am trying to determine exactly what wheel you have (since you said you don't know), but that close up shot of the bent lip doesn't help me. |

The wheel looks to be a reproduction wheel. You might be better off get it replaced, but if not, take it here
Wheel and Rim Repair - Home I had a bent wheel (inside barrel) that I had fix with out issues. They made sure it balanced out perfectly. Yours is on the outside and they might not be able to hide the flaw after they fix it. You going out to the barn today? |

Well found the rim, :Looks like its gonna run me around $250 a piece not including taxes or shipping. Not as bad as I expected but not as good as I hope.
