Any way to fix a bent wheel?

[cja@uwalumni.com]

Due to my recent luck with tire blowouts I have a bent rim. Has anyone had a bent rim fixed? How much does it cost?

I am trying to figure out if I am better off getting it fixed, looking for one off of e-bay or purchasing a new wheel all together. I believe a delaership sells them for something like $450 per (M3 wheels).

Thanks in advance.

I had one repaired here in the Seattle area for just under $100.00. It is fine now and balances better than before. Do a local search for bent wheel repair.

I will give it a try, thanks.

There is a place called Transwheel (www.transwheel.com). They fix bent wheels for $100 and also clean, restore to original condition $150. Seems pretty fair all things considered.

They sound good, I would give them a try.
