YES

i just got 2 wheels done at quicksilver, fantastic job done, even if their "shop" is a little weird.

only place i know in jersey that does it right, rim comes off, they manually pound the rim straight and true (with a circular jig and a measuring device, not a hammer and by eye sight), fix the bend, then do it again. no heat treatment, no bullshit.

again, highly recommended imho. little costly at $120/wheel (and cash only), but still the best work ive seen.

Yes you can fix a bent wheel



Just gotta take it somewhere or possibly call a dealer and see of they have a mobile wheel repair guy.
