The front wheel is clearly a little bent and there's a vibration in the steering wheel whlie driving. The rear might be OK but I have to take it off to inspect the inside rim. Both tires are still holding air.
Two questions
1. Can rims like this really be repaired? It's worth doing?
2. Has anyone tried to get reimbursed from the state for pothole damage? Apparently it's a thing. |
Yes, rims can be repaired. I had a Tesla 21" rim done for $100, or 1/10 of what a new one cost. The trick is finding a place that can do it and getting the rim over there (and using something else on the car in the meantime).
