best thing to do would be to grab an old tire and throw it on and see if it seals, if it does you should be ok for a little while just avoid any extreme driving untill you can get the rim replaced.
 
Yes, it will be a very easy repair at your local tire/rim shop, when there selling you a new rim/tire.

On a side not that Pothole must be the size of the ones we grow in MN.
 
well i dont want to replace the rim i just wanted it repaired thanks for the help... yeah it was a pretty harsh pot hole, im pretty sure the tire will still seal fine but hard to tell with the hole in the side LOL
 
their is a company called keystone that we use through our bodyshop at chrysler
i don't know but they might be able to fix it but from what i see it is not fixable because it flattened the lip]
try keystone they are awsome.
 
The city mayor should personally hand you a check to get that fixed, and have someone patch that damn pothole while he's at it :ohdamn: But that's just my opinion :)
 
i used to work at a couple diffrent tire shops and some of them have a tool to kinda roll that edge back to being straight so it wont look so bad...soo its deffinatly repairable if you can find a place that has it
 
Your tires looked like they were 90% of the way dead anyways. You should be able to get that repaired at a body shop or something, it doesn't look as harsh.

Keystone deals in remanufactured stock wheels, they don't repair individual aftermarket wheels.

To the OP, down here we have a place called Spec wheels that does individual wheels, I'll check if they have or know of a place up on your side of the border.

Edit: found this place in ontario Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists - Mobile Wheel Repair Services
