There is a very good chance that your bent rim is a warped brake rotor. On our 96 se you could not turn the rotor only replace. The new rotor was only $6.00 more than turning the rotor. If you do the work yourself, this is a fairly easy fix. Make sure that you put the keeper wire that holds the brake pad in correctly. Other wise you may screw up the pads. Replace the rotors and pads on both sides when you do the work. Both sides of the car probally have gone the same amount of miles and the other side will most likely fail in the near future. If only one tire needs replaced you may have an alignment issue or loose/ damaged front end part.
