Can you fix bent rims?
Well can ya? Its not bent bad...but enough to cause my brake pedal to vibrate and I can feel the car shaking (slight to moderate shake) at higher speeds. Sooo, does anyone know if you can fix them?
Thanks,
Nick

there are a few companies that specialize in fixing bent wheels,maybe somebody can chime in with some contact info/names.....as said above though,unless it's an expensive wheel,hard ti get wheel,it may be cheaper to buy a new one.

I hit a pothole and bent one of my rims to hell. I didn't think it was fixable but a buddy of mine told me to take it to a local rim store...they fixed my 18 for 50 bucks. They did say that sometimes there is nothing they can do about it though.
I got a bit lucky.

You can probobally find another one of those for 50-100 bucks. I know a local compnay that charges 150 bucks to repair rims. Just find a new one man. Going to be less money and less work.

Re: Can you fix bent rims? (O.G triple O.G)
my friend bent ONE of his rims and popped his tire and bought ONE new rim about $350 total. I was like "WTF....buy new rims! Some rotas."
But anyways go with new rims...you might end up liking them even more and save money.

Re: (JDMlifestyle)
Thanks to all the replied...but I have found some local shops that do these types of repairs...so I hope they can fix it. I would just get a new rim, but I just paid for these and just found out this rim is bent. And to the guy who said my rotor maybe warped...not a chance:
1-I just put these rims on and it never shook before
2-I put this rim on the front and it did the same thing
3-Why would my car shake at higher speeds when the brakes aren't even being used?

there might be a chance that you do not have a bent rim,..could be that your tire(s) are not balanced

Re: (2.0 EK)
Yeh I thought of that until Isaw my car moving and I could the rim wobbling like crazy..and the tires are damn close to new. But you're are correct, the tire could still be a factor. I think it is the rim b/c you can see the ****** wobblin when you are behind the car.
