Bent rim fix?

I have a 2002 Z06 with stock rims that has about a 3/16 bend on the inside of the rim. I'm not sure if this is an aluminum or mag. rim. Can it be straghtened. Has any one done this?

Thanks

I bought a set that turned out to have a slightly bent rim on one of them. Local wheel shop straightened it out for $100.

Hi, Allan - no, my tire shop sent it out for repair. In LA, you might check out http://www.wheel-repairs.com in Sta. Ana - I talked with them at Cruise for a Cure & they seemed to be a pretty good outfit.

Thanks, Steve. I sent them an email. I have two "wagon wheels" from the '98 that are slightly out-of-round - no visible damage, and the wheels can be balanced but not perfectly.

How's tricks? Haven't seen you in a while. As you can tell by the sig, I wound up buying an '01 (from a Porsche dealer in Riverside). The other deal we had talked about didn't work out because of the leasing company.
