Took my 05 65amg in cause I had a slight vibration while driving, turns out all 4 rims are bent!!! Now they want 10 grand to replace wheels and tires, or 400 a wheel to "put it on a special machine and fix it along with the curb rash" those where his excact words. Are these prices accurate? I'm not spending the 10 they want, but what about fixing them? Thanks

 

Not sure about how much fixing prices should be....but the wheels can be had for around 4k last time I checked on Ebay and/or other places etc.

 

Sent you a PM

 

Most places should be able to repair the bends for around $100 a piece.

 

theres a place called wheelsamerica. they do all 4 regular rims for $125. i think amg rims should be the same price, because they only charge extra for chrome. I know the price sounds shady, but its a big company. google it

 

Wheels America, here you go. They did two rims for my Jeep SRT that were really hosed up. $256 including shipping back and forth (20s) and left the tires on, they rebalance them for you while they're at it. Check out their gallery, they're miracle workers!

Good luck...

You can get a brand new set of 20" HRE's for less...

Ah, it's $125/wheel. Not for all four.

 

WheelsAmerica is in my immediate area right here in North Jersey. They'll do your wheels in a day if you drop your car off to them. PM me and I'll give you exact details champ, I've bent plenty of rims.

 

I went thru the same situation last year. I had three bent rims.

I eventually got lucky and got 3 OEMs' off ebay and repaired my 2 old ones. For a year now I have had my eyes peeled for pot holes. Dont need that hassel again. If I had to do it again I would consider these 20" from the tire rack.

Hope this helps.

 

Why would you want 20s when you have trouble with the 19's in pot holes?

 

I would do the O.E.M AMG 20s from tire rack if I had to do it again because I could buy 5 sets for the price of one set of O.E.M Cromadoras.
