I have slight bends on the outside of one wheel and the inside of another. How much would it cost to get those straightened out and what kind of places do that?

I have the same prob. The guy i bought my rims from hit a pothole or something and bent one of my rims, then he didnt tell me it was bent.
 I'm not sure that he knew it was but i havent found anywhere to fix it yet.

The company I work for, Wheels America does all this and more.
Check it out at www.fixrim.com or call (888)409-9499 for the store nearest you. Tell them John from the race team sent you. |

My rims were bent, by some stupid pothole that shouldn't have been there. When I went over 30 from then I could feel the car wobble. Got mine from www.tirerack.com so I called them up, telling them what happened and suggested the rims might be faulty. They looked into it, and sympathized and gave me a large discount on new rims. Not too bad I guess.

Sadly ive been to wheels america a few times, only twice for my celi though. They did a great job!! And its really not all the expensive considering.
And they have a great warranty too! After they did work on one of my rims, the problem started up again a week later. I brought it back and the guys were very appologetic that they didnt fix it the first time and did the second job for free. I would look them up. -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

Mike at Custom Wheels in Lynnwood Washington did a great job on mine! People ship wheels to him from all over the US!
2 front wheels cost me 196 but thats also cuz he took them off the car and all so minus doing that it would ahve been about 156 -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
