    Had bad luck Friday night, curbing a rim pretty bad. Trying to get info on a reputable shop. The rim is a 5x114 BBS off a 2005 sti. Not sure how much wheel repair goes for but may be interested for another 5x114 silver BBS in good condition for a decent price. I had the wheel spun at a Firestone, and there seemed to be a slight hop. Any feedback will help, thanks.

    I had my BBS wheels bent on my 05 GLI and I had redline wheel repair fix them up for a good price. I think it was $100 a wheel?

    Damn, that seems steep per wheel
     
  4. 100 per wheel is probably the minimum you will pay.Since I assume its the outside since you wrote curbing.It will have to be straightened and probably polished/refinished..I used to use wheel wizard when I was in the tire business.Also occasionally Metro Wheels in Smyrna..

    Ok, I didn't know $100 was the going rate. If I can't find another wheel in a week, ill get mine repaired.
     
  6. $100 for repair is less than you would pay for a replacement rim - IF you can find someone selling only one.
