Maybe I should have been a little more specific. The bend is on the outer lip, nothing towards the center as far as I know. But the degree of the bend is what I consider to be "nasty". I've yet to take the tire off the rim yet but the other side of it has no bend. And she said it was a big pothole, and that my car "jerked" her in that direction. Not to mention I have very low profile tires on them, (275-35s). I never should have told her my alignment was messed up...

Unless something broke, it wouldnt 'jerk' her, and even if it is just the lip, I doubt it can be fixed bro

Ye Ole Wheel & Welding Shop Incorporated, Elkridge, MD, 21075 - YELLOWPAGES.COM

I've been there, 'cos they did some work for me, and had a nice long conversation with the guy and unlike some people, when I described custom stuff, he knew very well what I was talking and was quite open to ideas and knows his stuff. They were fixing some wheels that had chunks broken off (not high perf. though) ... I'd def. go to him the next time I need something done.

You know anyone who uses olde English in their store name has to be halfway decent. Hope you get the wheels fixed by march though.
