Bent wheel, what are my options?

[J.DeFeo]

I have a bit of shaking at highway speeds, so I took my car to have it's wheels balanced on a Hunter GSP9700. That machine is impressive as hell. So impressive, in fact, that it very easily found that one of my wheels is bent.

What can I do? I really hope I don't have to buy a new wheel. My wheels are stock 15" for a 535i.

just had a thread similar to your problem few weeks back...was having very loud vibrations so I changed my center bearing and checked my prop shaft..I have no guibo...still there, turned out to be my rear wheels where bent.I have a 17" AC Schnitzer...I just had it repaired then now its fine...don't know how they repaired my bent mags I guess they pressed it or something, their were no signs of repair and they didn't repainted my mags

Spare??

Compare the cost of repairing the wheel (approx. $120) to the cost of buying a good used one.

Wow, I feel dumb for not thinking of this. I don't think my spare's ever been used.

That can also be a problem... Likely, it will be dry rotted... First time you put them on and drive it, tire will develop cracks.
