Well at this time my rear passenger rim has a bend! Is there a way I can fix it? Check out my Cardomain!

It'd probably be better to get a new wheel.

Check the yards.

If you're real cheap...you can try using a nice big hammer and beating it out, but I don't recommend it. I would get a new wheel like Nighthawk said...check your local junk yard or look online.

^^^Don't even imagine doing that, it'll only make problems worse banging a dent out. Either get a used wheel from a junkyard like the others said, or start looking for a nice set of wheels to replace your otherwise good set of wheels.

The reason why we said buy a new wheel: Alignment issues.

When you attempt to straighten a wheel, it'll never be as true as it once was. Although it may look right, it wouldn't be. You'll get uneven wear on that area of the car. It'll cause tire problems, suspension issues, poor handling...etc.

Not to mention, compromised rims are a pure safety issue. If the wheel is damaged, it could fail.
