Default Bent rims Fix or Trash

Bought a zo6 with curb rash and found out that a rim is bent . Belive it or not its GM certify.
But has any one gone and taken them to place to have them fix. And have them run true on the car.

Contact USA Wheel in Fairfield, New Jersey. They do it all the time. I've had them straighten several rims and fix curb rash and they do a great job and a fair price. Straightening and refinishing a rim or two is much more cost effective than buying a whole new set.

I brought my curb rashed rim into a high end place and they said about $300 or so. The curb rash wasn't even that bad. Just scraped it a little going into an ATM drive-up lane. But it still bothers the **** out of me. Anyways, GM Part Direct has the rim for $417. Plus the place couldn't even guarantee that the paint would match. May just get a set of chromies one of these day and keep the stock wheels for the track.
