So i was driving back from DIA last night and it was dark outside and there was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEE F*ing pothole in the road and when my car hit it it sounded like my tire blew out. so after driving for a little bit it didnt feel weird in the steering wheel. this morning when i went to look at it there is like a good 1 and a half of my rim thats just a little flatter than everywhere else. was wondeirng what i should do, do i have to get a new rim. can it be bent back?

Some people have recently had their wheels refinished but some local wheel shops. If the damage isn't too bad, I think it can be fixed.

Otherwise your looking at getting a new wheel or you can take this opportunity to get a nice set of aftermarket wheels. You should be able to find a cheap wheel (or maybe even a cheap set of wheels) on ebay or craigslist.

Check out the wheel reconditioning thread, they list a good resource to fix wheels. Otherwise Tom is right, both eBay and Craigslist are decent avenues to find good deals. The last set from eBay was a steal for me :)
