i was at h&a today and the guy was lookin at my volk rims when he pointed out a part of the lip that is barely bent that i never saw. do u think this will cause any problems the lip is barely bent that u can't really see unless u look closely

Should not cause any probalems as long as the whell can be balanced and it does not leak any air....

Honestly do not sweat it, it happens with the crappy roads in houston.

However, if you do want to get it fixed go to wheels america.......
www.fixrim.com

24 hr turnaround, one flat rate of around 120, good service.....and can def handle the task of fixing all types of aftermarket rims (3 piece, forged, dubs etc)

ummmmm I dunno, they charged me 80 to mess up my rim big time. They scratched the center, and could not repolish the lip!!

Wheels America charged me 120 but did an awsome job!

wheels america has a fixed charge...... per rim

Does not matter if it has a bend, scratch, repolished, or powder coated --- it is around 120 per rim plus mounting and balancing if needed

sorry bout that i must have something mixed up... anyways.. i showed the ricer this post and a printed out sheets from honda, edmonds that a prelude is fwd and he finally believes me and paid me but not after getting his friends and everyone else to try and support him.. i woudln't have made him pay but for his ignorance and not believing me after i used to own one i had to.

i rode on a cracked rim for 3 months, till i finally checked it out after losing so much air, don't worry about it, it's fine
