Bent My Piaa's! =( - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Arggg....Bent my front rim the other day on the way back down to San Diego. I was in the 405's car pool lane when...bam! my front right rim hits a pot hole about a foot and half wide and couple of seconds later....bam! my left front rim hits another pothole about the same size. I was going about 80-85 and I was certain that both rims got jacked. When I had time to stop and look the right side was okay but the left has a slight bend on the lip (about an 1/8 of an inch). I know it's repairable, but has anyone had their rim repaired? I was wondering is someone can recommend a shop in the san diego /orange co. area. and what to expect price wise. I have 2-piece Piaa Super Rozzas. I'm thinking it's easier to repair than a single piece rim.

Sorry to hear that man. I'm going to just take my 18s off because of the dents I put in them. Putting my stocks back on until I get my new wheels.

Hoosten I'm running 18's +48 w/ 225/40 toyo proxies 4's.
The rims are pretty strong I thought there would be a lot more damage considering how hard i went into the potholes. I actually didn't know the rim was bent until I washed it later on that day.
