Has anyone ever needed to have their rim straightent out?
The rim is not dented, just out of shape. Must of hit a pot hole and hit the rim so hard it lost shape.

With the new potholes that popped up here these last weeks of crazy no-easters I've sent out more the 25 rims for repair in the last few days. Making the mortgage this month for sure! What exactly is your question?

I'm about to send one of my wheels to be straightened out, I'll let you know how it turns out. He's charging me 110$.

I had a crack and a small bend fixed for 125. Perfect now.

Well it's not a visable bend or crack. The only way you can actually see it is by spinning the wheel. That's when you notice a slight "hop". I just had to replace the front two tires. Drivers side had the inside worn, and passenger side had devolped a slight disfurgement due to the rim. I tried to have the car aligned and they informed me of the rim, and a drivers side broken spring. So what I thought was going to be a painless alignment has turned to a big headache.
