I'm pretty sure I bent my rim. I hit a pothole the other day then noticed scary vibration when driving over 55. Should I take it to the dealer or can anyone recommend a place?

go see a machine shop, it's basic and easy to deal with, those guys should be able to straighten it for you or should i say round it for you.

On the other hand, if 28's won't be tough enough to begin with, I'd rather do things right the first time and suck up the cost. New fenders + correct new tires would be better than new wrong tires + new fenders + new correct tires.
