    Beat me to looking it up, but I'll add a URL

    http://www.precisionwheels.com/

    As I recall, when I was looking, repair tends to run $100+ per wheel (not specifically at Precision, just in general), and that doesn't include refinishing them. If they need to straighten them, they will heat them up with a torch, and any finish will be destroyed.

    Hmm...what you guys think...should I purchase some used wheels (1 is bent badly with 3 bends on the outerlip) and the rest have 3 curb makrs and all the wheels will need to be repainted/refinish them. They are VOlks from a member at 2.5rs. Or should I get some brand new ROTA's??? LMK.

    Unless you really want the Volks (or they are really cheap,) I would just get some Rotas. Precision Wheel does a great job, but depending on the damage a bent wheel is never going to be 100% again.

    Also, refinishing alone was $100/wheel when I checked. (That is a bead blast and a repaint.)

    I know this is a very old thread of mine, but since it was in the subject of fixing wheels. I was wondering how LONG it will take to fix a minor bend? Does anyone know?

    You'd have to call them to find out. It would probably depend on their workload.

    A friend of mine fixed some volk time attacks with a dented wheel a few months ago. They came out really wall but he said it was $150 a wheel, so not terribly worth it unless you have some fancy wheels.
