bent 18" AMG OEM RIMS c300 (W204)
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.

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....?

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.
