    Wheeling today and was going through a river crossing I had gone through many times. I guess I hit it a little differently and the drivers side of my car dropped off pretty heavily. When I was pulling out I slammed my rim agains a rock. It pretty much stopped my truck but I still pulled out. I don't think I have lost any tire pressure and I drove home at 75 with no problems no vibrations and alignment seemed pretty normal!

    Can y'all let me know if the rim should be replaced or it's okay just to leave it and go on! Thanks a lot

    Cast aluminum, if it's not cracked and/or loosing air, should be fine. Like Beavis said, check alignment.

    Look at your alignment cams, usually when I hit hard it flattens one out.

    Everything seems fine, no vibrations and steering wheel is about as straight as it normally is. I really wish I had the hit on film, I seriously thought I destroyed my body panel!

    Im on my phone so i cant get a super good look at it but it looks like you might have a small tear right next to the G on your tire. Hopefully its just dirt fooling my eyes. If not, might want to keep an eye on it

    That wheels cast aluminum it's wont corrode unless it's left in salt for a long time. I've stripped and polished powder coated wheels and ran them for years with no issues. I wouldn't worrie about it if the truck seems to drive fine. If not I'd check balance on the wheel and maybe alignment.
