Angry I bent one of my bbs rims today!

I was driving on the freeway and hit a big piece of rock...now I have a flat tire, bent bbs rim, and the axle or something is messed up...Anybody repaired a bent bbs rim before and do you know how much? Thanks

have a decent shop check out your car before you jump to conclusions about whether or not an axle is bent...

wheel of America in Union City can repair it. Turn around time is 1 day. Wheel Techniques takes longer.. probably 3-4 days.

I bent my wookie today.

On a serious note, will the wheel ever be as good as it was? Aluminum doesn't hold well up to reshaping. (Sorry if I hijacked your thread)
