Does anyone know how much it cost to straighten a bent wheel. I have a 19" Piaa Super Rossa that keeps loosing air. I can't find a leak in the tire so i'm assuming that the wheel is bent. I like in Massachusetts and have hit some good potholes, that's probably what did it. Will straightening compromise the strenght or quality of the wheel. Is it better to just buy a new wheel, I have actually wanted to go with a staggered setup on my sedan so maybe i'll buy two new rears, but for the money I think i'm crazy to do this.

 

This place is great. Have used them several times due to NH potholes....

They are in Tewksbury.

Good luck.

 

Thanks alot for the reply, I actually work in Tewksbury, but have never driven past rimpro. Can I ask how much they charged to fix your wheel.
Thanks again

 

Sorry, just found their price on the website

 

It is usually $100 or so, maybe a little higher, but each time I go there, the guys asks if I have cash and if so he drops it to $90 or something...seems to like cash transactions better than the kind you have to record. But does great work. Sure beats replacing a $600 factory wheel...

 

I assume you've had the valve core and stem checked as well? I've had those leak once in a while too, I'd check them out before paying to have a wheel straightened. If it's bad enough to leak air, I would think you'd be able to feel a bent wheel, even if you couldn't see anything noticeably wrong.
