Bent rims

I have a 2002 TL-S and i just found out from the dealer that i have 3 bent rims ......Would it be better to replace them? or try to get them fixed? Also can anyone recommend a good place in the NYC area?. I live in Queens.

Thanks in advance

some bent wheels can be re-balanced to counter-act the vibration. Unless they are bent badly then you'll need to fix them

They didnt show me but i will take them off tomorrow to check first. I tell you one thing car feels like i am riding on square wheels. They balanced them and they feel worst then before. Bastards probably did a crap job so i would replace them.

I can get a rim for $222.64 shipped from hond.

Took the rims off and they look oval, like they lost their roundness. How do they tell that they are bent? It is a machine they use? You have to look closely to notice it

Wheel Collision is great. They do great work and have a quick turn around. They are also rather inexpensive.
