Default Bent wheels...what to do?

How do you fix bent wheels? Are they good as new once fixed? Is it expensive? where would you go to get something like this done?

Thanks

I was told fixing a bent lip(assumer your talking about the inner lip being bent?) was cheaper to fix than a scratch in the outer lip.

they told me ~100$ to fix a massive bend. not sure how good it is, Id imagine itd be near perfect. no material taken or added. so weight should be the same.

funny you say... I just happen to nick my outter lip today some how... now I have to take it in to get it fixed and I know it's going to be spendy - I'm $200 plus. The inside of my rim is bent as well - I gotta get that fixed too - these Seattle streets fawkin' BLOW.

good question haha!

Id bet forged rims chiped and bent will be even more. if you can find a local shop that will even touch them.

stock rims are not forged, so any good rim shop should either be able to do it, or refer you to someone.

But once you bent it, and bent it back, it would be weaker than before.

So if the car was driven in the same manner, wouldn't the wheels bend again?

I would think that would be the time to look for a new set of wheels.
