I don't see how you can fix a bent chrome rim, you can with a polished aluminum one. I would think you would have to have it straightened and re-chromed. Better call the place you got them from and ask them how it can be fixed.

Couple questions--

1. How do you bend a rim

2. Can you send pics of your car, I want to get the crome Z06 rims also

comin down the highway near a construction zone. couldn't even see what i hit. felt more like a brick than a pothole. it was a section that had the concrete barriers on both side so i couldn't even go back to check it out, not that it would have helped.
i'll sent ya some pics

a friend of mine has his car hit with a rock going down the highway, near a construction zone... big dent on car...
well, he had it repaired and sent the bill to the City (gov't office) not sure which part. but they reimbursed him for it. Because the city (or county) is responsible for road hazards, (espcially if it is a consturction zone) .. i would call them first though... i think most places will do this

Take it to a place that fixes rims http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif Shops around me charge anywhere from $80 up to do it.
