I hit a pothole bent my front rim blew a 1"x1" chunk out of my front tire, scrapped up my rear rim took a chunk out of rear tire and I was like 80 miles away from home in tampa. luckly i was close to my uncles house and i had a spare
It happened on Sr 54 7:00am then I had a bad day of fishing. What makes it worse is that I went back the next day to find the pothole and they filled it in!

So now i need to buy 2 tires get 2 rims fixed and Iam in california!
I was thinking about buying new rims but Steeda no longer makes them so yeah.......

does any one know how much it would cost to fix a rim. I have a used nitto on it right now and the rear tire can still handle laterial load since it didn't blow when i was doing doughnuts before i left. I have pictures but my brothers laptop won't let them be uploaded.

I looked at yellow pages.com for anybody they had nothing, but I looked on google and came up with a couple, I emailed turbax.com for pricing and questions.
