Default bent te37

depending on the severity of the dent, can forged rims be fixed?

not worth it, repair is expensive on any rim. just buy a replacement.

It can be fixed. I know of some guy that had his SSR Comps fixed through a wheel doctor service.

Here's a similar service they charge $125 bux flat rate per wheel.
http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/

I say that's not bad considering the price of the TE37.

However their process just corrects the actual wheel to it's original round form. It will prolly be heavier than the rest of the TE37s that you own simply b/c the process that they use to fix the wheel isn't forging.

But it can be fixed for a small fee and you really wont be able to tell.
