Bent inside lip. SoCal wheel fix?

Hi --

My buddy just bought some wheels, the previous owner had some major camber, and hit a pothole. Both the front/left and rear/left wheel lip bent. They don't look to be that bad of a bend, it's somewhat minor(i mean the tires still hold air), but noticeable.

Does this affect the ride in any way? It's only the inside of the lip... not the outside.

And if he should get it fixed how much does it run for and where?...

Yes, that does compromise the rim...

Tru Wheel in North Hollywood, they are the recommended shop by Mackin. Probably cost you about 100-150 per rim.

I think your talking about this place http://www.truwheel.com/

Tru wheel is a little pricey, but I also know this other place in No Hollywood. Call 411 and ask for Pico wheels on Sherman way. Its on Sheman way a block off of Coldwater Cnyn.
