Bent Wheels MY02
18"MY02 rears after new tire install found bent.
Am suspect to the when and if the test driver did this. None the less, it's there and can hear the out of round now. Can't see it visually.
Am looking for insight to wheel straightening. What is normal for cost? Have been quoted $115 per rim and a 24hr turn around. Is this normal?
Lastly finding another set seems like looking for a needle in a hay stack, really like the appearance and would rather keep the current look. Have searched the forum for vendors and contacted Midwest and DCAuto with full strike outs on the rears, any other suggestion other than dealership on where to look?

My02 rims come up on RL Classifieds all the time.
The straightening cost sounds reasonable.

Me? I have the turbo twists powder coated black on my DD. But the My02 are awesome track wheels and are what came with my track car.

$125 is about the right price.
I purchased a set of these and DB seller didn't disclose all 4 were bent. I paid $250 from my tire guy to get all 4 straightened but he felt sorry I was lied to and gave me a bargain deal.

Just scored a full set. Reasonable price. Having them checked and then full refurbishment. Once they arrive will have the bents straightened and put a set of winters on them.
Appreciate all the answers and will now have two sets of the wheels that look the best IMHO....
