Can this be repaired at a dealer?

Hit something.

Style 162 18".

Damaged wheel needing a repair or replacement?

No tear. Typical cost?

Don't think a dealer will repair it..they will replace it with a new one maybe. you can send it out to a wheel shop to get it repaired or look for a good used wheel to replace it.

Find a rim shop. Some place that sells big chrome wheels to people with trucks. They usually fix rims or know somone who will. Good luck!

I would run by a local wheel repair shop and get a quote on the fix. If its a bit on the high range, you may want to look into a new wheel.

I've had 3 bent rims repaired last year, one in multiple sections and in my experience I'd say CAD$120-150 including tire unmounting, mounting, balancing.

Edit: There are only a handful of really good rim repair shops here in Toronto, I imagine there should be someplace available in Montreal.

GL

do you have any sort of tire/wheel insurance??

dragazn · 08-02-2009, 11:09 PM

if its not leaking out air, you are good.

Try this on your own risk ok.

THis happen on my 18" wheels on my Prelude, and some guy at Discount tire shop recommend either get them fix or get a mallet (hammer with rubber head) and start hitting on it to get it back in shape. You wont be able to get it in perfect shape but at least it will be close.

Problem with hitting on it is that it might cause the rims to cracks, if hit too hard.

longtran · 08-02-2009, 11:38 PM

the dent is in the inside. if its not leaking or shaking, i say leave it alone.

If you are real picky then any wheel shop would be able to get the wheel rounded out for you.

It is not being picky. The ride was terrible with a constant road noise. In the last days, it started to lose air.

It is not obvious on the pictures, but the wheel guy showed me 2 other spots on the rim. The good news is that it should less than 100$, transfer of tire included.
