Looking for advice. I've got 20 inch rims with sport tires. Last fall I had to swerve to avoid oncoming car that drifted into my lane and hit a missing spot of black top at 60 mph. It bent the rim and developed a leak. This happened in Sept so I just pulled all my summer rim/tires and put on my winter set so the bent rim could get fixed.
The bent rim was repaired by a reputable place and sat in my basement over the winter. Fast forward, I swapped my summers rims/tires. They told me they found a nail in one of the tires but didn't say which one. Six hours later my tire was down to 20 PSIs. On a closer look, the repaired rim is the one with the tire plug.
Thoughts on going about getting it fixed. I'm afraid both the tire place and the rim shop are going to tell me I need to replace everything, but I don't want to buy a one without knowing the other is fine. Rim replacement is 750 and tire is about 300.
