Hey Guys,
My girl curbed the heck out of my 18" AMG rims (2008 C300) - the dealer says (after charging me $30 to diagnose the vibration I already had explained to them) one of the front ones is slightly bent. The other is just scratched a little but I also want to fix that one too so it looks new again.

What are my options? How can I get them refinished and is the bent one a goner or can those be fixed too? ..and refurbished? Are they OK to buy if I need a new one?

Thanks for all the help, and by the way this is the first thread I've started so cheers to that!

Welcome to the forum dude. Look up local wheel repair shops in your area. Normally you're looking at between $125-$250 per wheel. The wheels will come out like new dude. Good luck.

Or buy new knock-offs - they're about the same price as a good repair...

I have seen some OEMs on ebay in the UK...might be worth having a look there first..

If the wheel has been damaged it sounds like it has a slight buckle....personally I'd go for a new one as a repair could only weaken it further....Is the tyre gone too....?

Mine are for sale and I just lowered the price....just click the link in my sig.

Hey, I've replaced my wheels twice through the dealer when I had my C300. The dealer will charge you around $190. They replace your OEM wheels with refurbished ones which are as good as new.

Dealership is robbing people blind. Only go there if you absolutely need it. Like another member suggested, go to a specialized wheel shop and they will take care of you.

you can find a deal if you look hard enough sorry to hear!

Allowing a beginner driver to drive a fragile car is never a good idea.
