IS BROOKLYN IN THE HOUSE? without a doubt..LOL.. i have bent so many wheels in BK, that the local shop on Clarendon and King Hwy knew to expect me at least once a month..lol

I love these roads in Georgia though.. i can spot a pothole with enough distance to swerve...

Hey man, I feel your pain....So far since this spring I have replace One set of Eibach PRO Kit 1 lowering springs, 1 FR KYB GR2 Shock and now just last week a FL KYB GR2 Shock. The parts were exchanged free due to lifetime warranty however the installation at my garage was not. Thankfully my wheels are still OK.
My front top bearing plates were both replaced in May and now the RHS top is making a bit of noise again.Those were replaced by my dealer under extended warranty and so was my front strut with the endlinks. For you information...my front Eibach spring was cracked in half! And I hardly drive my car....thankfully the road crews have repaired all the pot holes in my area - west island Montreal.

I'd shop around more that's a minor bend. Over here I can get that fixed for $30-45... for $120 they'll refinish the entire wheel. I been on 20's in NYC for a while now so I feel your pain, have spent quite a bit keeping them "maintained".

Thanks for the compliments!
Last summer I paid aprox $1k Cdn for them just before the Canadian Dollar and the markets crumbled. The are Konig Again 5's 18" x 8" and fit perfectly.
The tires are off Michelin's BF Goodrich line (2nd Line) and they were $700 for all 4...amazing! Tax in CDN (Quebec tax is 15.5%; provincial and GST (Canadian Sales Tax). They are Riken Raptors.
They are 245/45/18 ZR rated 4 star.

I get a lot of compliments on the Rims....Especially when they're clean! LOL! And with all the rain this summer, it's been tough!

damn dude... i feel ya pain man. i went into a pot hole like a month ago and my right front tsw snetterton bent, but very slightly. my toyo tire was done! freakn $200 to replace one tire! the bend on the edge was so slight the guy said it's not worth fixing because you can hardly see it. plus it balanced fine... I can see the bend though because there's a bit of rash on the spot where it bent slightly

Man. I finally took my rim to WheelsAmerica yesterday. I go to pick it up today and the bend is gone but... I noticed ALOT of bubble looking stains all over the inside of my rim. You know the part where they stick the weights. Well I told the guy WTF??? What happened there? He said thats how I brought the wheel to him. I said HELL KNOW!!! So we got into it and then he told me he's going to fix it. I was pissed off because if the wheel really was like that and he knew it he would never agree to fixing it. He knew someone F'ed UP and hoped I would not notice it. So watch out guys! If you plan on taking a wheel to them make sure you have a before pic.

wow.... that sucks but im glad he is fixing it...

most of the time they are just fine to deal with. it may have just been your local one that was not the best... I had one of my wheels fixed from them and it came out flawless... then the body shop tried to clean it with acid (not really, but i wouldnt doubt it) and it completely discolored the rim and the shop had wheelsofamerica fix the wheel in 1 and a half days for free.

all-in-all, just be cautious... taking before and after pics would be very good to do.

glad everything is getting fixed.

Went to WheelsAmerica today AGAIN to pick up the wheel they messed up. And they messed it up even more. The bleached spots were touched up "totally visible" AND they re-machined my face and lip and it doesn't even match the other 3 wheels. So I still don't have my rim back. So much for their 24hr turnaround service. This is the LAST time I ever go to them!!! I might as well buy a new rim.

no thats a pain in the a** to get them to pay for it, you come out cheaper just getting a new one or getting it repaired
