fixing bent rims?
 
Ok so there is a set of Rota Battles for sale that supposedly have no visible bends, but vibrate above 60mph. The seller said he took them to a repair shop that told him 2 were slightly bent but didnt give him a price. I can get them for pretty cheap, but Im wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost to fix the 2 rims?

Some places I have seen charge about $100 for some short of shake elimination service.

Just to throw in my own thoughts, I would wait for another good set to come along. Rotas are cheap wheels anyway, and there is not telling if the repair will further weaken the wheel.

wheel works in nj does good work, when i worked over at a tire shop we would send all bent rims to them and they always came back perfect , my only problem with them is they take alot of time to get things done so if you rush him then they dont come out as well

Theres also wheel collision..... but like said above Rotas are cheap wheels, just wait for something better.

I have bent rims myself Joe and have wondered if it's worth it to fix them.

I didn't think you could fix cast wheels.I though it was just forged or steel pressed.
