19' oem wheel
hey guys! anyone have a 19' OEM 5 blade wheel (chrome ) for sale? Or know where I could find one? I found out last week at my rotate and balance that one wheel has a slight bend in it, I already had a little area of chrome peel off on that same wheel. I can't seem to find 1.and price for 1 wheel then have it chromed is pricey. If I can't find one maybe change all four.

Do you have a full size spare? If so, just use that and keep the wheel with the slight bend as a spare. If not, you can get a refurb on e-bay for about $300 and have it chromed (don't know how much chrome costs but you may not have a choice). Better yet is to have your own wheel chromed, as you never know how badly a refurb wheel was before it was "fixed".

just take a hammer and hammer it as straight as you can
You could heat the area up with a propane torch first but ive found it doesn't make much of a difference
Ive straightened so many of my own wheels after getting tired of paying the shop $100 each time

This is the "BONDO - bumping and shaping Hammer" which was the best $20.00 I ever spent.
You use this hammer in conjunction with a regular heavy hammer, or mallet , and you place the edge of the BONDO hammer into the bent area on the wheel, and then hit it very hard with thew heavy mallet, and ive gotten great results with it.

The rim fixing is a large volume business in Santa Ana, ca. that has straightened mag wheels for many years. My 40 year tire, suspension shop in San Clemente, ca has used them countless times with long term perfect results.
May be unusual for other areas but in so cal this a a usual fix.
