Dave, please reply back to this thread, if/when you get that repaired. A shout-out to the company that fixes them for you, results (after pic) and a quick review would be good information for us here. Thanks! ---

Agreed, it seems like thats a common issue and though everyone has their opinion who is better, posting up some pictures of the results would be great and how the company was that you deal with for future references! ---

well you have to think that on the majority of wheels, the part behind the face comprises 80% of the wheel at least. ---

Not sure if were on the same page? The front of the rims is whats visable when your looking at it on the car. The inside of the rim is the same side that the breaks and rotors are on. Every car ive seen gets the FRONT bent from curbing, hitting a pothole or running over something too fast. I havent seen too many rims that were bent from in INSIDE. ---

i’ve seen a ton of wheels bent at the lip, not sure how many i’ve seen bent on the inside of the wheel tho. that sucks. I dont think they could do a good job regardless tho, that should be a weak spot even if they did fix it ---
