Bent the inside of the rims on the SUV, any advice on how to fix it or if I should? It's aftermarket, but is it something I can do or should I just pay the $250 that this business in SD is asking for it?

Buy new. It's the safest thing to do.

What happen? Hitting the bottle too much? av-943.gif

shop around. i dinged the edge of the rear wheel on my blackbird (motorcycle) hard enough to loose air. found a local shop that fixed it for $75. couldn't tell anything was ever bent when they finished.

i once used a hammer to straighten a steel wheel on a camry after my ex-wife curbed it. it held air and became the spare tire. wouldn't try that with anything other than steel though.

while not in your area, you might try uploading a photo to this shop (not the one i used) and get an estimate.

Don't know if this is close to you, but I got a wheel straightened for $50.... http://www.awrswheelrepair.com/locator.html#California
