Is getting the rim repaired worth it?

[why?]

If you can find a place to repair it you should Really any decent tire shop will bang it out, and it should cost less than it would to buy one. And don't worry about it being dangerous, you should see some of the crap that is out there that still works just fine. If it holds air it will be good to drive on.

But the stock steel wheels are amazingly flimsy. Hit a big enough pothole and they'll bend.

Lots of helpful information from you and everyone else. I think I'll check prices on eBay re a replacement and then check mom and pop tire shops around here re the cost of banging it out plus the cost of mounting, which of course I'll need either way.

I never thought I would run into issue, however my one of my steel rims is also bent. I'm wondering if it will damage my tires? I can't believe missed it. Should I just not worry about it? or get it repaired?

Thanks in advance.

I've posted a link to the photo of the bent rim.

I had to zoom in to see where your rim is bent . Given why?'s post, and my 'other experience', I'd guess you will be fine. My 'other experience' = catching the end of an a**inine curb configuration at a gas station (off I-20 in July) after driving about 100 feet after pulling out of a parking spot. That rim is worse than yours and I've been driving on it since July. The rim bend that prompted this thread is far worse than yours or my July one, and caused an immediate flat tire.
