    Default Bent Wheel Repair Recommendation?

    Can anyone recommend a Wheel Repair Service that they are satisfied with? I have a slightly bent M-Contour replica. I was going to replace it with a new one, but appearently they are no longer available.

    I emailed one service in CA, but never received a reply, so I'm not likely to depend on someone for service if they will not even return an inquiry email.
    1990 535i 5-sp., except for 16" M-Contours, cd deck, and clear corners, completely stock. 226k and running strong

    I have used Transwheel (800 392 9724) in Huntington IN. and been pleased with results.

    I haven't had a wheel repaired from them, but I needed some bolts for a Style 5 refinish & they had them. Only place I could find. From what I have read, they are good.

    Good luck with the repair!

    You mean like these??

    Fit with no issue running 265/35-18's on the rear 9" wheels

    As for the wheel repair, I highly recomend these guys - SABS They have done a few sets of wheels for me and I know people ship wheels from all over the country to them.

    Wow, Very nice - PM me links to more pictures, that is gorgeous!

    I was also speaking of those wheels I posted, they're staggered - I can't imagine how rare that must be. That's definately what I want.

    They did a great job with my friend's AMG SLK and looked brand new. And also restored my HRE three-piece wheels for my Maserati and they came out great... I guess it depends on the tech who redo your rim?

    If they are cast wheels dont even think about straightening them, they are weakened and will fail. Forged wheels will repair but very carefully by an expert with a BIG press.
