Wheel started to vibrate at about 60 mph. Decided to get an alignment but they said that my left front rim is bent (very little) and I should replace it before coming back for alignment.
Stock rim is about $200.00 - should I really replace it? They said that no one will fix the aluminum wheel.

 

I just bought a new rim for my '99 LX, it was something like $50 or $55, but those have the plastic hubcap.

If you are sure that you need a rim, you could try

http://www.handa-accessories.com/accext01.html , they give about a 22% discount on rims (thus instead of $200, it'll be ~ $155). You pay for shipping, but sales tax isn't charged unless you live in California.

 

i bent my 17and got it repaired without any problems.

i did a quick search on yahoo and found this place. Maybe you can a place in your area.

they are wrong, i see ppl fixing volks all the time and guess they are make of? aluminum

im me if you need some place to get your rims fix(in cali)

fix all that bent stuff before getting on the rack, it's pointless for you to have them do an alignement now

 

Thanks for the all the answers! I am on the east cost, maybe will try to find someone here to fix it before getting a new one.

BTW, where do you ppl get your wheels/tires stuff? online?
