Thanks

Look around your area to see if there is a shop that repairs rims. I had a bent rim on my car when I bought it and had it fixed for under $150. Now it rides perfect and was much easier and cheaper than buying new rims. Most shops that repair rims are used to working on highline cars so they shouldn't have a problem rounding out your rim. Because who is going to fix a bent rim on a Kia? No one because the rims are so cheap to just have replaced anyway. So most of these places only really ever see BMW, MB, Lexus, Porsche, etc.

Good luck, how bad is it anyway?
