Default Bent Wheels

Is there anyone that has ever bent, and had their wheels "remanufactured?" If so, did they drive just like new? Ive heard rumors that they dont go 100% round and was wondering a few of your opinions. Also, how much am I looking to spend?

I am new to the boards, so I suppose this is my initiation first post/question. I have a 944 na with 17'' aftermarket 911 twists. Im currently rolling a set of loaner cookie cutters... But a long story short, I can visually see that 3 of the wheels are bent (1 is super bent), and can only assume the 4th is bent as well.

I had a pretty badly bent wheel fixed and repainted for about $125 from www.wheeltechnologies.com I was happy with the results. I actually have another repair for them now.

With that many damaged I'd just get another set of wheels, factory ones would probably be stronger too.

Yea, those replica wheels are not the way to go. They are heavy and cheaply made. Get a good set of aftermarkets or a set of real Porsche.
