o sh*t a bent rim
this isnt exactly a maxima question, but it kind of is. i have a set of rims that i baught last march. i was driving one day and i nailed a large pothole with the pass. side wheels doin about 45. i found out later that 2 of my rims are bent, which i assume is those 2. i had them on my 97 grand am and they bent one of the studs which caused me to break it when i tried to take the lugnuts off. then i put them on my 97 bonneville and they broke 4 of the 5 lugs on the pass. front hub. i was wondering if there is any way to fix this, weither through wheel weights or something else. i want to keep them cuz i love them, and they were originally on a maxima and i am looking to buy a maxima for college. thanx

Yes but not with wheel weights. Certain wheel shops will straighten them out for you.
I cracked and bent one of my old rims. There was a good 1 inch crack that had to be welded back together as well as having the wheel straightened out.
