im sure there are ways to fix a bent rim, but i dont know of any that you could do yourself. personally, if i bent a rim, i would replace it asap. its not worth your life if that thing fails on the freeway at 80mph.

When you say its "bent", do you mean that just the lip part is bent and its a cosmetic issue? Or do you mean its bent out of round and you have a wobble issue. If its the later, I would just buy a new rim. If its the former, you might be able to clean it up with a little work. Check for a recent thread by jdog. He did some nice work cleaning up the curb rash on his rims. You will have paint matching issues though.

How did you get the same bend in two wheels? Did you hit something?
on the first picture the bend is below the "made in korea" The second picture it is below the "215/40 R 17" -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

My advice. Just buy two new ones. Or however many are bent. That would be the best way. But i don't know how you could fix that.
