Bent rims, need help~!

i was going down the I-5 the other night and noticed a gaint (and i mean GIANT...it took up the whole lane) pothole. well i was behind a 18 wheeler so i couldnt see it til i was 5 feet away. well i thought my suspension just bottomed out when i hurt a lough thump, but when i got home i was wrong.

well my ce28s are bent now, and i need help finding a shop that will fix it. my friend told me 1 piece forged wheels are hard to fix, and might not even be able to fix...i had a tear in my eye when i hear that...

anyone know if these can be fixed?

-thanks in advance

oh man, sorry to hear that.

when i bent my 2 bbs wheels at the track, the wheel shop was not able to repair them and they are 1 piece forged as well. you just might be better off buying another wheel.

i went to RB Motoring, which was suggested by sigma and slowguy. the only problem is finding a place to anodize the lips...
