yes, i know their is a shop near me that specializes in this, however if your rims are fairly cheap its normally about the same amount of money to have it fixed than to buy a new one.

thanks for the reply live2rice, i hope we have one here in western washington area. i checked the brand name of the rims(borbet) website but they do not have the type i have anymore and tire dealers out here do not carry/heard of them before either so i''m SOL! the repair thing is the only option i have  thanks again.

make sure its a good person, well know trusted etc, why? becasue most rims except for steel with crack of they are bent back the wrong way, or by some one who has little experience
