Some shops are specialized in fixing rims.
You just gotta find one.

I'm not talking tire place.
Tire place specialise in bullsh!tting their customers and installing tires.
I said look for a place that repairs wheels, not the corner tire installer.
If you find a place that fixes oven and that says they'll fix your wheel, change place. Look for a shop that fixes wheels. There is one around here, but it's pretty f*kin far from you  Only the said shop will tell you if it's worth fixing or not.

rule of thumb...
If it can bend one way, it can bend the opposite way.

check out the local Discount Tire.
The ones down her in Texas are in a partnership with some company that will heat, bend, and refinish aluminum wheels.
I had it done to an EVO factory wheel.
Only downside is make sure you get a warranty for the repair coat of paint.
Cost about $125 total. Cheaper than a new wheel.

That sounds nice. Two of stock evo wheels I bought are ovaled out and no rim place I went to said they could fix them. Even if they could, they were going to charge 150 per wheel.

I do know that my rims and tires were from a 01 integra..from an old roomate. I tried to locate them online but couldnt find. I am leaving first thing in morning to go to this place called Dino's,been around since 1928. Seem to be pretty good guys,better not be an overnight job as i have no way of getting a ride right now or even next day off next week. Thankfully i live 5 minutes frm work,having spare etc..
Thanks for your help and opinions..
