Default pothole got the best of my rim
16" stock avus, now with a nice bend. not bad enough to go flat but the car now shakes a bit. can these be straightened? where should I call to get pricing, or do I need to check the postings for an extra?

Default my tire got blown out last week.
sucks. perhaps 235x45x17s would be more protective.

Default Re: pothole got the best of my rim
I had the same thing happen to me, however it was enough to break the seal an give me a flat, any idea if these tims can be bent back into shape and then be balanced?

Thanks.
