potentially stupid question here
lets say you hit the worlds biggest pothole and dinged up a part of the wheel -- the lip of the wheel, 2" in linear length, was bent in (radially towards center) .5"
obviously a hit that damaging also knocked the alignment out of whack. can you get an accurate alignment reading and repair first, or would the wheel need to be replaced?
im not sure if the suspension components are damaged as well, or if its only the alignment.
-if it is only the alignment, then i can simply replace the wheel, and pay for alignment, out-of-pocket.
-if the suspension is damaged, then i would pay for everything from insurance. (buying a replacement wheel, and then claiming insurance for the rest, seems like a mess)
visually atleast it does not seem like suspension pieces are effed.
