While I was out on a road trip I walked out and found the lip on one of my rims is bent. It hasn't affected the handling or anything, but I was wondering if this could be fixed or if I needed to replace the whole wheel. Has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Bent Rim
You're better off replacing! I've bent the lips before on those cladded chrome rims before but whenever they got that bent the rim got replaced.

Re: Bent Rim
Ouch, I guess I should start looking at getting a replacement. Now the question is do I just replace the one or wait a bit and just get all new rims?
From what I understand the rims aren't covered under the warranty, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and ask.Mods:

Re: Bent Rim
Yep, with everyone, replace it.
That's actually pretty bad, considering right off the bat you can see it. I had one back then that was less bent, and they already told me it was beyond repair.
