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.

power-fade,

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?

Sounds about that price. but if I were you, I would just get a nice set of used rims for 325 a piece.

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.

Go to Volco Tires in Van, Richmond, or Coquitlam & they will sell you 3.

I already put the C32 winter wheels on!!!
