Bent rim repair in DFW area

I was planning on heading to Fort Worth today, I get home to change and what do I see...a freaking bent rim! Gosh darn it! I finally get my exhaust on and everything was sounding good and this happens.

Does anyone know if this can be fixed and where to take it around the DFW area?

This is very upsetting.

That's Texas roads for ya.

Take it to NTB in Lewisville off of 35/121 and talk to my good friend Mike B. He's the store manager and should be able to send your wheel out for repair. He sent out one of my iForged to fix a bent inner lip and it turned out great.

Oh I know how you feel man...bent rims suck reaaaaaaal bad.

It was on 75 between Anna and Melissa (north of Mckinney/Plano). It looked like the joint between one of the bridges and the road was coming apart forming a pot hole. Of course I was going ~80 over this thing which made it worse.

Thanks for the info. I called several places around here this morning and it seems like this can be fixed for ~$125. The only problem now is trying to salvage the Enkei decals (which I never really liked in the first place). Maybe I'll just refinish the other wheel to have it match up.

I've also used Wheels America back in '97-'98 for 3 piece wheels I had on my Accord. I think it was only like $99 back then with a 24 hour turn around time. Great service

I forget the name of the place, but it's about 3 or 5 buildings down (south) from Harry Hine and I-635. On the west side - can't miss it.

I think it may be called 'afforadable wheels' or something like that. They fixed a aftermarket chrome that had cracked and repaired a bent rim too. (that was on a C5 vette though)

Cost was $95 for each.
