Default Anyone here knows who can fix a slightly bent rim? ... (m)

Just got a new set of SSR GT3's and hit one of those "holy $hit" pot holes!!! WTF?!?! Dumb luck I know. I tried to avoid it but unfortunately still hit the damn thing. (*Sigh) and they're only two days old too, luckily nothing happened to the tire. Anyway, it doesn't look that bad... but it is bent nonetheless. I was wondering if anyone here knows of a shop in SoCal (LA) that repairs rims. I don't want to end up buying a whole new rim. Thanks in advance people!

Slightly bent? What, it's still mad? Seriously, a wheel place should be able to straighten it out.

Any wheel place? I'm assuming one that deals with aftermarket wheels?

Default I had a Cobra R rim straightened out at a place in LA once. They did it pretty easily.

cost was only ~$45.00 or so. I don't know if all shops have the capability, but I'd think if you found a higher-end wheel shop they could probably handle it.
