Bent Rim - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #57640 4 posts Started by celica47
Hey quick question, i hit a pot hole the other day and bent the hell out of the inside of rim. Does anybody have any expirence with getting rims repaired or should i just buy a new rim?

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.
yeah that was pretty much what i was planning on anyways, thanks.

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.
