New wheels for is250
Hello,
I have a black 2014 is250 AWD
I have 3 bent wheels at the moment company is charging me $250 for each wheel. I might as well do all 4 that would cost $1,000.
A. Should I fix that for $1,000?
B. Get new stock wheels from lexus that be $847 each
C. Should I go for volk te37? $850+ each
Are the stock wheels that come with this car are they fragile? Do they bend easily? Are they durable?
Are volkte37 reliable? Are they durable? How do they come compare to the stock wheels that come factory?
Please share your knowledge with me.
Thank
you to all 🙏

Probably should get a 2nd opinion. I had a bent wheel (according to Lexus) and the dealership charged me $150 for it. I'm sure other shops would do the work for way cheaper than $250. Wheels are pretty durable IMO, I feel like I hit pretty hard potholes and never had another bent wheel, tbh, I think dealership scammed me because I said I was feeling a vibration in my steering wheel and they said "your wheel is bent", they looked fine to me.

I agree, $250 sounds too high.
I had severely bent a wheel on my old ES (two pot holes in one night), and it was only $175 to repair IIRC.
Separately, I had three sets of wheels sandblasted and powder coated, which included wheel straightening, for about $150 per wheel ($145 - $160, depending on wheel size).
Look for a shop that does wheel refinishing, as they probably do wheel repairs also.
