    Default Rim repair?

    Got my new tires on and felt some vibration coming from the car. So after going to Discount tires for the 4th time.....they found out that my front right rim and rear left rim are bent a little, not too much and thats why the vibration is there. Can I repair both my rims or would it be better to just get used ones?

    Well, most wheel repair spots are going to charge you $150 or better to straighted EACH WHEEL. I say, if you can get replacements for that price or less, get em. If you've got expensive wheels, get them fixed...like I've got some Centerline forged wheels that cost me $535 per brand new...I got them repaired.

    I've got the numbers to the two places I've used if you need them...LMK. Thanks.

    I think I would be better off repairing them since they arent badly bent. Whats the number?

    You can call them, I've used the Wiz before.

    Also, there's one on Memorial Dr (forget the name) but the number is, 404-299-7255

    Next there's Hot Wheels in Marietta, 770-826-1615

    That shop is just outside of I-285, at the bottom of the hill. I've never used them for anything, though.

    one question did you get them to do road force on them, if your wheels arent bent bad that could be a cheap fix.
