help! bent my 19 inch niche targas! any advice on wheel repair?
Went on a long road trip and hit plenty of potholes and craters that I couldn't avoid. Saw that my front wheel has a significant bend on the outer edge. Tires are holding air and psi is unchanged. Anybody here have any experience on getting their bent wheels fixed? Thanks.

I'd recommend Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. They have franchises all over the country. They're experts at fixing exotic wheels.

They eliminated some nasty curb rash for me on two occasions. Brilliant work. I didn't even need to opt for the full re-machining. They were able to take care of the damage with "spot" fixes.

Only cost me about $80 per visit (your mileage may vary).

Link for your neck of the woods (maybe?) - http://www.awrswheelrepair.com/northwestnj/
