Yikes! im so sorry to hear/see that man. i definitely feel your pain!
luckily my dents were on the inside of my wheels and a local shop was able to straighten them out easily. BUT apparently when you hit a enormous pothole while driving on 3 piece wheels you can damage/loosen the bolts too...i had no idea.
i was still leaking air like crazy. then i performed my own water test and found that an ENTIRE BOLT was missing!
check the video:
anyone ever take apart/repair their 3 piece wheels? this is my next project for this weekend...

You have just demonstrated why I have never got 20s. They are just not for the bad roads in states with a real winter climate.

Dude I'm so sorry. This past winter in NY was pure hell. I'm in the process of changing my style 124's for a set of staggered Miro 111's. I destroyed all four rims. They are dented ,cracked and in a sorry state of despair. Not to mention some of those craters pinched my tires and now I'm also replacing all four due to bubbles and such. Trust me, I know how you feel.

update....all the wheels are 100% fixed. Tires are all set. the whole set-up is riding smooth and i am super happy! attached is a teaser pic from a shoot i did this past weekend...ill drop in a full post detailing all the mods ive been busy with over the past couple weeks soon.
sidenote: the Folks at Cor Wheels were definitely a huge help. they fixed stuff and provided parts 100% free of charge even outside of the warranty period. it was the best situation, but i ultimately i got taken care of...gotta appreciate that!
