bent rims
anyone know how much roughly to repair a bent rim (inner front passenger)?
i recently replace my tires and the tire shop notice that one of my rims were bent slightly. no cracks or anything. i was quoted 200-300cdn from my tire shop
should i get the dealer to repair it?

They will either send to to Greens Automotive, Richmond or Nu-Brite in Langely. Deal with it yourself, the dealer will mark it up. See Western Wheelcraft, it will be cheaper.

i getting my bent wheel fix now and also ask them about getting my curb marks fix 3 wheels. they gave me a quote around $325 a wheel because it requires a special paint silver that only mbenz have($150). not sure if this is correct. i have the 5 spoke sport rims. i was shocked it cost that much just to fix curb marks on my wheels! is this true or they are trying to haggle me?

Look at some 17" AMG replicas at Volco Tire in Coquitlam for $180 each.

Check around you will find a mobile repair service for around $125 or local service between $115 and $150. I had mine repaired at the dealer for $110, yes hard to believe. These prices are in Indianapolis.

They actually carry the same wheels you have in replicas and you can order 3 wheels only. $140/wheel is a very good price.
