Default Bent TE-37's............need help

Two of my volks are bent and i need to know if they can be fixed cuz some people are telling me that they cant be bent back because of what they're made out of......but i have no clue.....one just has a slight bend on the lip and the other is pretty bent. I live in the Seattle area if anyone knows anyone who can help me out......any advice is appreciated.

some shops can fix a bent forged rim, others can't. Call up your local wheel shops and make sure to mention they are forged aluminum

Check the back of Car & Driver or similar auto mags. There are usually listing for aluminum wheel repair shops there. Call a couple and see what they can do for you.

For sure dude, beings the cost & quality of your wheels. Id call around in search for a place that can pull the repair. Don't give up just yet.
