Default So my rim got bend after hitting a pothole some weeks back =(

so I had been slowly leaking air after hitting a pothole some weeks back. today I finally really checked out the tire and rim for damage and eventually found the culprit:

</center>

So I will be calling around tomorrow with bobs and mortons etc what the cost is for a new rim or what they would do. The audi peeps usually have them fixed so maybe thats fixable (hope that it is) so we will see. Maybe Vdot will pay for the damage (wish).

Default that's a pretty small bend to be leaking. THere are rim-straightening services

but that's right up there with plugging tires.
