bent rim
I bent one of my rims on the front of my car. I took it to the shop and got it balanced and mounted with a new tire. It balanced fine. I put the rim on the back right of my car. If my car drives without a shimmy is it worth it to get the bend repaired?

Kind of vague, depends on type of wheel, cost, availability, etc.

I have a 2009 e350 4matic with amg sports package........My wheels are 18 inch and my tires are continental conti pro contact 245/40/18

If tire holds air and does not shimmy are vibrate at high speeds and is in the back right i should be fine right?

I'm not sure, but from what you told me it would probably be the same price to buy a single wheel vs repair. Good luck.

If you are not unhappy with the ride quality, IE: steering pulsation, then don't have the wheel trued. A good tire shop can road force match the tire to the rim and minimize the imbalance, but cannot eliminate it.

Eighty bucks is a good price for a properly trued out wheel. I pay $125 per wheel and have as many as six (two cars) wheels trued per pot hole season here in the land of the giant pot hole.
