I just noticed that one of my wheels is bent pretty bad. Want to know of a good place to have it fixed. Thanks

This is the guy who took care of Petes (FNSkanks) OEM BBS 18s. He did a really good job of getting them straight. He’ll probably chime in if he sees this, but I saw first hand. Not to mention he’s a really good guy to deal with even though he’s not the closest one to us!

I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was a little over $100 a wheel so make sure it’s worth it first. It’s a little pricey, but they come out perfect. Not to mention depending on severity it may be less!

Yeah I bought cheaper wheels too and sometimes it’s just not worth it, lol! Then again his turn around time is quick. Just give him a shout anyway, it can’t hurt to ask. I mean, it’s not like the wheel is totally wrecked, is it?

I had him look at my bent SSR Comps and he couldn’t do anything about it ☹  
I guess if the bend is on the outside lip then it is tougher to repair and may crack. Hopefully your bend isn’t on the outside lip. :wow

Yeah mine was bent on the outside lip. But I ordered a new wheel. Figured for a few bucks more I’d rather have a new wheel
