Default Where can I get a wheel fixed??

I need two wheels fixed and I have no idea where to go. One has a dent in it and I will post a pic. I'm not sure if its fixable but Stephen was saying it could be rolled back into place or something. The other wheel holds air but wobbles when you spin it and I don't feel too safe riding on it. Where should I go???? Help guys rims aren't cheap!

I hit a brick on i75. And ya if I needed a front and rear I would probably just suck it up and buy a used set, but since I need two fronts I will definitely get ass raped. Wheels are SO overpirced right now bc its riding season. They cost almost as much as new ones and most have rash at the minimum. Just hoping I can save some money by getting these fixed.

Try RTM? I dont know if they do it,but im sure if they dont,they will know someone who does.Id search for a deal on ebay.

If you dont need them right this second just be patient.C_r_a_s_h found a wheel on ebay for cheap an even talked the guy down an bought it before the auction was over.

Call transwheel in tampa. They do a lot of wheel refurbishing. If they can't do it they will know who can. Or you can call my boy Eric Grey at his Comutrack shop (954)786-2875 and ask him who he sends people to for rim straightening. There is a guy down around Broward that does it. Last i checked a basic repair such as rolling a lip is 95 bucks. Hope that gives you an idea as to what to expect.

Not 100% sure on this, but i don't think they "fix" rims. They send them out to be refurbished.
