    Can this be repaired?

    If so where? And would it be more cost effective to just by another one?

    It'll cost you 125 to get it fixed at any wheel place. (discount tire).

    Might as well buy another.

      Yes! I can't throw any recommendations tho'. Take it to a shop or you can get a lead hammer, heat it up, and bang it out.
      A shop shouldn't charge that much, cause they will probably do the same. lol

      Edit: It shouldn't cost anywhere near $125, discount sub's it out to wheel technologies and prolly does an upcharge.

        Yeah they say it's 125 and they send it off, I had two differant places other then discount say 125 and send it off.

        But x2 on trying to fix it yourself that bend isn't too bad.

            If you're ever up this way let me know, I got a lead hammer and some mapp gas. We'll heat it up and have a go at it and I won't charge ya nuffin. LOL

            Edit: After looking at it again, you actually have 2 minor bends, still doesn't look bad enough to buy another wheel unless you want to. Bang them out and have it rebalanced and you should be good.
            As long as it's not cracked (which it doesn't look like it) it should still be structurely sound.
