Thread: bought new rims - problem

Yes.. Search on it. I recently did a search locally for a buddy and he had some expensive rim fixed up and recoated/painted etc for around $100 when the rims typically costs $500+

When I bought a bent set, I researched and I found the typical price was indeed around 100 a wheel. It depends a lot on how badly it's bent, mine were very noticable with the vibration I had. Edit: They were bent too badly to be balanced at the tire shop. They were bent pretty significantly.

I ended up selling the set on ebay.. I bought them for 400, sold em for 300 and was honest about it, the guy who bought them was actually a fixer upper of bent wheels, and wanted to buy them to fix and sell.

Then I used the 300 to help buy a brand new set off tire rack.

if it's bent, but holds air, keeps the tire mounted, and is able to be balanced decently then i wouldnt even worry about it.

I fixed 2 bent rims on my passat with a bfh.

perfect. usually if the bend isn't bad then it'll still work out. it's the ones where you pound a giant pothole and it debeads the tire that cause issues.
