I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since I posted this thread.

Thought I'd give an update on what "can" be done in terms of repairing bent or damaged rims.

The shop that the NorCal members have been going to for the past 7 years is called Wheel Techniques. They've been doing this type of work for over 20 years now and have been a proud sponsor of many of our local meets over the years.

I even know of CL members from out of state that have shipped their rims to CA to have them repair their rims. You can do a search in the NorCal regional section to find several threads about them. Use search keyword "Wheel Tech" or "Wheel Techniques"

Here's a link on their site of the process that they use to repair damaged rims:

You can also read a story on what they did for me here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=bullet

I've had my 20's for 3 days now and already slightly bent and a ding/dent in 1 of them so far as I can see, the roads in Mass. have to be the worst in the country possibly in the civilized world with roads. Night driving I think is where all the damage will be done. I posted about how long it would take before they are totally ruined.

I had small problem on both my fronts on the inside lip of my iFORGED 19" Variants. I had them straighted at a good place. Had them for about 15 months before I had the issue.

This really isn't bad - my 18" Anteras all had to be restraightened every 6 months or so like clockwork. They are my backup set now.

I currently have a wheel over at Wheel Techniques. They do good work but the wait (they lag hardcore) is so frustrating!
