What to do with slightly bent 05 TL rim
I have an 05 OEM TL rim that has just a slight bend in it that I don't need. What should I do with it? Get it fixed then sell it? Sell it for scrap metal? Craigslist it? and how much should I expect for it?

if you can get it repaired at a low cost, get it repaired and just keep it. If you managed to bend one rim chances are that you are going to bend another one again.

just get it repaired, cant be too expensive. after u get it repaired the structural integrity of the wheel will be compromised, in the sense that it will be a little weaker and have a higher chance of bending again. i would suggest just buying a replacement of ebay, it shouldnt be too expensive.

If it's a inner out outer lip dent, then fix it and it'll be fine. I had to fix a otter lip dent and it cost me 80. Youll have to rebalance your wheel after. See if you could watch the wheel on the balance machine to inspect if the dent was truely taken care of. if the dent is on the drum of the rim then i guess you have a nice garden hose hook.
