Bent rim

i bent my rim going over a curb, seems like the tire is loosing pressure because of it. It goes down to about 20 psi then no lower. is there anyway i can fix this? about how much would i have to pay to get it fixed? I just got some new tires and i want to replace the ones on there now, but i dont want to have leaking problems on the new tires.

if the rim itself is visually bent, you're probably best off getting a new rim. If you have aftermarket/rare rims you can sometimes get someone to fix it, but it all depends how out of shape it is. Just go to your local wheel alignment shop and have them spin the wheel for you. They can easily see if it's damaged beyond repair.

I have two 16 inch silver Trans-Am wheels with Goodyear GSC's on them. I bought them to use for the track, but those plans have changed. Shoot me a p.m. if you want to buy one or both of them. Both wheels are in perfect condition.
