There is a "bend" in the lip of my stock sport design wheels. It was kindly placed there by the previous owner, and I'm thinking I should get it fixed before it causes any problems. The wheels are 2-piece, and the bend is only on the outer rim (right where the tire meets the wheel). As these things go, I think its fairly small. Does anyone have any experience with getting these straightened, or any ballpark prices I should expect from a shop. BTW, who would you contact to do something like this - tire shop, body shop? Many thanks...

 

Al Reed and Wheel Enhancement in California can do the job. I do not know there prices.

 

That sounds like an easy job for a wheel repair shop. They will bend it back and true it up like new. Look in the Yellow Pages under wheel repair. If you don't live in a large city, you may have to go out of town.

 

I know the prices for Wheel Enhancement, cost me $250 a wheel. I looked far and wide but in the SF Bay area, I couldn't find anyone else besides Wheel Enhancement to do the job.

 

Wheels America. $125 if they deal with unmounting, mounting the tire, otherwise $100, 24-hour service. This is where dealers send them. They have an outlet in Union City if you are in the Bay Area, check the website otherwise.

I am not affiliated at all. I had a curb scuff (no bending) repaired there and it came back perfect. But if they or a performance tire place says it's a risky repair buy a wheel. Wheel Exchange or somewhere, not necessarily too expensive.

 

Thats Alot !!! in UAE they charge $70-$80
