Usually bends can be repaired (small). But now your rim will only be as strong as the weakest point (bend area) so i would suggest a new rim.

I bent one of my stock rims and Discount Tire said that they cant fix a bend in an aluminum rim. I got some aftermarket rims instead of buying a new stock one. If you are interested though, I have some stock rims I'd be willing to let go.
I just got to thinking, and I think that STs come with 14" and my car had the 15" BBS stock rims... I'm not sure if thats right or not. This post has been edited by aslearvert: Apr 18, 2008 - 11:51 AM |
