Drew,

When the tire company saw the bent wheel rim, they said they could straighten it for $5. But when the tire was removed, there was a 2 inch tear completely through the rim. I asked if a repair weld could be done, and they said "Basura" meaning they thought the wheel was now garbage. Keep in mind they want to sell new wheels, not fix old ones. As it is, the wheel holds air perfectly since the tear is below the tire bead. Do you want me to post a picture of the wheel so you can evaluate it?
