Can tires be mounted on slightly bent rims?

 

depends on if the bend will allow the tire to keep the air presure. sometimes even the smallest gap will cause that sucker to leak and then you have to send your wheel out to cali for a quick fix and then back to you for a paint job on it.

 

there is a place in Tampa that fixes bent and damged rims although I dont know the name of it we have sent a couple of sets there from my shop to get fixed.

Also I heard there is a place in Bradenton also. Any one know the name? I heard it was close to Alternative automotive. Its not for me one of the guys at my work needs to send some rims out there and Bradenton is so much closer then Tampa.
