So I think my front driver side rim is bent or something. Lately my tire pressure has been dropping every 4 days to about 20 PSI. The only thing I remember is that I hit a pothole, but the rim looked OKAY. Maybe I was wrong.

How much to fix the rim? IF the rim is not bent could the tire just been hit so hard that a leak developed in the seal?

Either the bead on the tire broke, or the rim might be cracked. On my civic, I hit a pothole and didn't see any damage marks. Later on I found out it was cracked in the middle. Get it checked out at Discount Tire, its free.

That happened to me too. I brought it to a tire shop and it turned out that the rim was cracked on the inside. Theres no way to see it unless you take the wheel off the car so you might want to check that out. [:)] Good luck.
