Shouldn't be a problem, just look into a local rim repair shop if not ask your dealer.

Expect pricing to be around 70-100 for repair. (that's the going rate local to me)

probably pot hole.. yes it can be fixed.

Sounds about right.

zclin · 10-26-2012, 06:31 PM

Would it get worse if not fixed right away?

stupordave · 10-26-2012, 06:34 PM

Won't get worse but it could be leaking air.

It may also result in strange feeling in the direction or brake pulsing after some miles.

True. But it may affect wheel balance resulting in vibration around 60 mph or so.

And be more careful to avoid potholes, curbs, etc.

Can you be sure the wheel is still true after a hit of that magnitude ? If you can, that is some good eyeball.

edirtaynine · 10-29-2012, 03:00 PM

first experience with a pothole?

Yup, and it doesn't take much to bend the lip like that.
