Hey everyone. I had a quick question. The other day I was drivin down a street and there was this big pothole that I didn't see or know was there, neither was there a cone around to warn me. So my front driver side tire (http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/#) hit that pothole hard and damaged my steel wheel. Its still drivable and all but it doesn't good or too safe. I'll post pics to show the damage. Just wondering if it is still repairable or should i just buy a new one. If so, where should i buy it from, or what shop would repair it for cheap. I'm in Lawrenceville. Not looking to spend more than 80 bucks for repair since thats how much a replacement would cost. Thanks in advance.

It would be cheaper for you to just replace the wheel itself instead of doing wheel repair. Call around to World of Wheels, junkyards, etc and just tell em what you are looking for, and they will hook you up. I would never do a wheel repair unless it is a fancy alloy or what have you.

I would recommend replacing the tire also , a hit that hard might have damaged the cords under the tread

Oh whew good thing that's not an alloy wheel. Buy a new one it'd be the best route to go. :D
