Bent wheel!

[dj996]

Found out today that one of my front Sport Design wheels is bent, dealer thinks they can fix it I have my doubts. Worst part is the 18x8 52mm wheel is going to be hard to get if it can't be repaired. Anyone have positive or negative experience with bent wheel repairs? :help:

Oh yeah the car has a bad vibration now above 60mph, the weird thing I really didn't notice it before, I guess the new tires really bring it out.

I assume your dealer subs out this type of work. Find out who does the work and go to their shop for them to look at the wheel.

We have a local wheel repair shop that all the dealers use. I have been in the shop and I cannot believe they fix things that look like junk to me.

Another option is WheelEnhancement.com. They can repair your wheel or offer you an exchange wheel or new wheel.

I called WE, they will not fix a 2 piece wheel but they can get me a new one. Only trouble it's on back order, none in the US right now. But, Gert can hook me up if need be :clapping: . Hopefully they will fix it, the dealer seemed pretty confident.

I would try these guys Wheel Collision Ctr. in Bath, PA. If they can't do it, I bet no one else can. I've personally had great luck with them and the BMW Car Club raves about them. Good luck!

My personal experiences and what I've I've heard about one wheel repair shop is that they are unbelieveably good. The shop is called Ye Old Wheel Shop (I'm not sure about the spelling) and they are located in Maryland. They used to regularly advertise in the back of Autoweek (they may still do so) and they do work for people all over the country.
