What does your rim look like? you have a pic to post?
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.
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
sorry guys i've been trying to upload couple of pictures but i don't know how could you please tell how to. thanks
look in the website forum....a lot of people have asked the same question there and there are lots of detailed answers.

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.

yea i hit a huge hole on the road. it was dark and i saw it too late. well at least i didn't damage my tires so i am looking for an easy fix for my rims
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.
