Ran over a nice size pot hole and now my front wheel is bent. Tried to look for an used OEM one on Kijiji but no dice.

The most economical route is probably to just fix it. Do you guys have recommendations on who to take it to and if there is any reason why I shouldn't? I want to get this fixed sooner rather than later since it vibrates at 70-85 kph.

+1 for carcones

and only capt. A2B would hit a pothole bad enough to bend a rim after they've been all repaired and it's mid-end of summer

(then again so many roads are so shit in general, i guess it's not a surprise doe). sorry to hear.

Not sure I would want to fix a bent wheel. Strength is already compromised and can bend again. This is an excuse for some nice wheels now lol

I always hear about the strength not being the same but never had a repaired wheel.

No monies for new wheels. \:\(

It will be fine. I bent my TL OEM winter wheel on 9th line and had it taken to carcone's. I talked to them about it and they said they don't recommend fixing aftermarket wheels and they won't warranty them, but OEM's are not an issue and they will warranty it if something goes wrong.

Cost was $100, $70 for fixing wheel the rest was tax and install + balance.

$100 bones isn't bad at all. How long did it take?

precision rim repair.

when i dropped off the wheels i picked up off of Jeff, this guy had his audi wheel there and he fucked it up hard. really bad rash all the way around the rim and bent. when i picked up mine i saw it and it was perfect. they also did a great job with drilling out my wheels but that's not really rocket surgery.
