So more construction and some major bumps, and yes I can see a slight bend on a front rim. It's in the front and causes no vibration or thumb (IT is verrrrry minor) Should I just drive with it or spend the money and replace the wheel. A guy will straighten em for a $100 but a new one is 135. Any long term damage to the tires??

Buy a new rim, only $35 more and be done with it... ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec ~RIP~Connie~1/21/02 ~Mods~ E0 SVT Rims~205/55R16 Goodyear American Eagles~ ~Mods to come~ H&R springs~Konis~Coilovers~17x7 Millie Miglia Avia~215/45R17 S-03's~SVT body kit~98+ OE Spoiler~CAI~Brullen Cat-Back~Turbo (or 2):)~ More to come
