One of my 15x7 rims (see previous thread) has a pretty good bend in it and I'd like to use the whole set for the Freezeout Hillclimb in 3 weeks. I usually just run a pair in the front and a pair w/ a bit more offset in the rear.
Any body ever have rims straightened? Where? Worth it?
If I get it out this week, I could have it back in time...

Re: Best place for rim straightening?
Typically easier to replace unless it is an oddball wheel... I had these guys do one just a few weeks ago: http://www.dependablewheel.com/. I recall it was $225 or so, but did not include re-finishing which is needed in my case as they had to burn the paint a bit when they put the heat on. I would have replaced it, but the rim is a somewhat unique Ronal that I couldn't find anywhere.

Re: Best place for rim straightening?
I've used MC Wheel for straightening around 10 times. They're near where I work.
http://mcwheel.com/
Just a few guys in a small shop straightening wheels and powdercoating. Nothing fancy but they do good work from what I've seen. Cost on their website is $80 to $120 for straightening per wheel for aluminum (but I've had volume discounts before ). It says their turnaround right now is 2-3 weeks right now but you can pay $35 extra to get it done in 1-2 days.
The owner used to have a Nissan Stanza with SAAB Soccerball wheels on it.
Plus you can get a t-shirt from them that says "We Give the Best Rim Jobs"
If you wanted I could personally deliver the wheel but it may take a little extra time because it has to go to my house first.
