Default are wheels covered under warranty

Does Lexus cover a bent wheel under warranty?

Does anyone know a wheel repair shop in the SF Bay area?
The outside lip is bent, no vibration and no leaks or scratch, just need to bent back for cosmetic and safety reasons.

nope, it wont be under warranty because something like a wheel would be under the "normal wear/tear" category.

If you hit a pot hole, it wouldn't be covered. If the wheel was defective, and, say, just separated under normal driving, I'd seek a warranty claim.

100% not covered under warranty....but no need to replace the entire rim. There are plenty of alloy wheel repair companies out there, and most are very good and even mobile. They could easily repair a bent wheel in about 1 hour, and only cost about $75-$150 depending on the wheel finish and damage.

Good Luck!!!
