Yes. BTDT.

whas BTDT?

nsxtasy

Been there, done that.

One of my OEM NSX wheels (they're forged) was bent and I got it repaired. The wheel repair place (this was Transwheel but there are other good wheel shops like Wheels America, etc) said to fix it they "heat it and beat it".

nsx: did it turn out ok? how bad was it bent?

nsxtasy

It was bent on the inner lip, bad enough that the tire was leaking. It turned out fine. They normally refinish the whole wheel but I told them not to bother, I just wanted it straightened, so I saved a few bucks. Good job.

Anyone who is interested in reading about how wheels are manufactured, check out this page on the Tire Rack's website.

Check out the link I provided in the above thread.

Usually they refinish as well as straightening and repairing. Typical costs are $150-200, although I think Wheels America has a flat rate of $109.

Oh thats not bad at all, Want to see 3 of my 5 SSR GT1 Rims for my S4 that are all dented? I'll post some pics tommorow.

And to answer the question, eventhough it has been, yes they can be repaired.

nsxtasy

It depends on where you're located. You can bring it in if you're close to a wheel repair shop. Transwheel had a location near me so I did that. Wheels America has 6-8 locations. Otherwise, if there's no wheel repair shop near Heaven Scent, then yes, you would have to send it to them.
