Bent Rim
Hey guys today I hit a massive pothole and couldnt manuever out of the way. I have a slight bend on my rim. Just wanted to know if it was anythinng serious. Car doesnt seem like its shaking but I cant really tell since the roads are so bad here. Kind of sucks because I just bought the rims from tire rack 2 weeks ago.

Sorry to see! As long as the wheel is holding air and you don't have massive amounts of shimmy, you should be OK. Though, I'd keep an eye out for any air leaks.

Doesn't look terribly bad, but I'd make sure it's not cracking on the other side. Also keep an eye on the pressure for any possible leaks.

Ended up just buying a new rim. Thank god it was only 1 rim. New York roads are so bad especially after this winter.

Dont' feel bad. I bent 3 of my bremmer krafts 2 weeks ago. Hit a gap at 120 mph or so, bent them like butter. Ordering Apex's this week to replace them. No more cheap, soft wheels for me.
