Rim lip slightly bent :( Visual defect only at least
Well I hit a massive pothole last week (at around 11pm) which scared the hell out of me. I really expected to get out of the car and see a huge chunk of wheel bent in. I have driven on the highway and at slow speeds, noticed no problem with vibrations or steering problems. However, I just realized the outer lip is slightly flattened in a small spot (plus there is a small scratch - oh well)
Is there any way to bend this out? Rubber mallet or something? Can wheel repair places fix minor bends like this?

Probably repairable.
See if you have an alloy wheel repair specialist near you.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/locator_us.htm">http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/locator_us.htm</a</li></ul>

True... Sounds like a repairable wheel. If the mobil guys don't work, you can always box
it up and send it to Skips Wheelwerks. If it's repairable, he can fix it. Works miracles at a "fair" price.<ul><li><a href="http://www.skipswheelwerks.com/">Skip's Wheelwerks FTW!</a></li></ul>

it might sound strange...
but ask your dealership who they recommend...
My dealerships here have been able to recommend good body shops, dent wizards, and local wheel repair companies. For example, I was able to get my wheels repaired for $100 each (and one was BAD).
