i've recently hit a pot hole and my rim which was already bent now is to the point of not being able to hold air any more. so i was wondering if there are any good ones around?

at that point i would think it is beyond repair and you'll have to just completely replace it.

Might get this moved to the customer feedback forums, I had wheel doctor repair my rim. I can't completely recommend them for dent repair work. I have a set of 17" Enkei EV 06 aluminum rims that I hit a pothole with, dented the front to the point it wobbled but still held air. They picked it up in Silver Spring from a guy working on-site at the Merceds dealer but had to take it back to the shop for repair. When they tried to bend it out, they cracked the rim, then welded it to repair the crack. I can drive on the rim now, but leave it on the back corner as there is still some degree of wobble. I think for curb rash they would be excellent, but not so much on bent aluminum rims. In hindsight, I should have coughed up an extra $50-100 over what the repair ended up costing and just bought a new rim.
