rim repair?
 
hey guys i recently hit a pothole while doin' some numbers and it sounded pretty bad. i stopped and inspected it to see if there was any damage anywhere but i guess since it was late at night i wasn't able to see anything.
i only noticed today while washing the car that my front, left rim is bent as well the back left. the back left isn't as bad as the front but can these things be repaired?
even if it can, does it make sense to?

the car still drives normal, i'm not noticing any difference or anything.

Post pictures so we can see what you're talking about, but honestly I think you're gonna be better off investing in some new rims. Just keep the bent ones for the winter (if you even have a showy/icy winter .. which I don't think you do in Trinidad)

i'll try to get some pics in the morning. i'd really like to get some new rims though, but i'm very particular on that subject and the ones i would like to get are very pricey but in my opinion, worth every penny.

we don't have winter here so parting with them won't be an issue.

the first one here is another shot of the front and the rest are the back.

the back tire has a little bulge where it got hit.

man i hate these roads here!

To be safe - swap 'em with new wheels and tires - at least the one with the bulge.
