Angry Bent Rim

Gettin a vibration in the car and took the car to tires plus thinking the wheels might be off balance and come back and they tell me that 2 of the rims are bent. Is it worth getting them fixed or buying new ones

I had a dented rim, I ran over something nasty on the freeway, there are a few specialty places that can do it, but it runs about the same cost as replacing them. I ended find a cheap replacement on ebay for $75.00.

I'd see this more as an opportunity, if you were running stock before time to get a nice set of aftermarket rims!

It your rims are expensive, it would be cheaper to have them repaired. I have Volks GT-C's and 2 of the rims got bent by going over a curb. Cost wast $360.00 to repair both. That is cheaper than one rim replacement. But, if you have cheap rims, might at well just buy a replacement.
