found a new rim for $100, as cheap as I'm gonna get...would just rather spend the money on something else... :crazy:

[BigT]

i would get a new one...if your gonna take it off and have it straightened you might as well just get another one...and if you can get one for 100 bucks go for it...

I fix rims by bending them back with a 2 ton hydraulic jack. Then I use jb weld in the cracks I created by bending it back. Its ghetto but it works.
