Default tire rim 1989

is it possible to get a rim re aligned pressed ?
after hitting a curb It's now loosing air, not a lot but needs to be fixed I can see the in dent
or take a risk of buying a used rim on line ? I don't want to buy 4 new rims so need to match the 89 rim 17 x 9.5

Many times minor damage can be corrected. Local depends on your area. Remanufactured / reconditioned many times are available they have a wide variety prices. The new reconditioned wheel will appear new without patina of other 3. originalwheels.com lists your wheels

Where are you located? If near a larger metro area visit one of the 'higher end' dealers and ask who does their aluminum wheel reconditioning. Some have mobile service to dealers on a very regular basis. A curb hit on an '89 wheel would generally require also a polish of the rim flange. It's generally not an issue!! I'd prefer that vs buying a used 'unknown' likely.
