Last Sunday I found my car in my garage with the front passenger side tire flat. I thought "no biggie, my first flat, I'll patch this up." I jack up the car and look for a nail or some other puncture culprit. No luck 
So I take the wheel off then and instantly I see on the inner sidewall a nice large crack. @)($#*@ Thankfully this didn't happen on the freeway to and from the TriState meet. So I took the rear wheel, moved it up front and put back one of my GL wheels as a spare. Today I go by work to mount a used tire that we don't sell to customers but are still fairly good for use. Upon mounting I discovered my rim had been bent. I did a road force variation check and apparently with the tire being marginal itself I was able to rotate the tire to have a balanced wheel and end up with only 17lbs of force variation. I'm confused as to whether the bent rim had been a result of the tire being flat? Or there is a nice pothole in the alley to my garage that we all have to go over, it's a tough one. Could that be the cause? If so, I'm 
and I'm gonna call up the landlord....
Also, the bent part is on the inner side of the rim, hence why I'm wondering if it was related to the pothole, maybe it just hit hard and bam I didn't notice as I moved a few yards to my garage?
The inner bend is showing 0.120" according to the balancer and the outter side measured 0.010" off. Can this be repaired?
