[V8] Bent rim fixable?

[Gunter Lorberg]

I've had two rims straightened with good effect over the past few years.  One for as little as $50 without finishing (winter rim).....

With the boom in aftermarket rim sales, there are more and more shops popping up that specialize in repairing bent rims.  Call around locally.....someone will be able to point you in the right direction.  There are even some websites advertising this service.....you could ship your rim away for repair....

Keep in mind that not all rims can be straightened, however, and that even with the most advanced machinery, the rim will likely never be as strong as it was before the damage.

I'm looking at some new rims to spruce up my V8 a little bit and found some 
that I like. Problem is, he says one is bent a little and wobbles. I'm 
wondering if it's possible to get it straightened. If so, where would I get 
this done at and how much would it likely cost?

Thanks in advance!
