    look up Ye Ole' Wheels in Maryland and call them up. You can mail your wheel to them to have it straightened.

    it doesnt roll ok :(

    it was a hell of a pothole, not too big but very deep and sharp..


    my tires actually fine

    i reasearched wheel repair.average prices said 50-90 bucks, unless i can find a local place, i dont think it'd be worth it with the price of repair plus shipping, better off gettin a new one.....if i can find it

    That is a ~$100 fix. It probably is not worth it since the rim will always be weak at that point.

    See if you can buy a new one.

    Well at least Nippon is a decent company(unless I'm thinking of a different nippon). Are those really 2 piece or 1 made to look like 2?

    I know a place in my area that'll fix it for around 100, but yeh best to find a place local to you.
