I've had plenty of bent rims on my 300ZX Turbo, and got them fixed for years. No, the integrity will never be exactly the same ever again, but it'll be fine in most instances. It will still balance well, and everything. Hec, it's a viable alternative to buying a whole new rim, or in your case, possibly a whole new SET of rims.

Will it be a little weaker, and a little more susceptible to being bent again? Yes, but not overly so. You'll just have to be extra careful to dip and dodge any major potholes, and drive slower over bumpy sections of the road.

But you should be fine. I've had rims fixed plenty of times over the years...the same rim more than once. Luckily, knock on wood, with my 19" fat setup on my GS, I've had no bent rims in 3 years. On my 17" aftermarket rim on my Z, I bent them up every year during the winter...and I was too young and stupid to just buy some stock wheels for the winter.

Lucky for me, they're 30 mins from my house, so it's not that inconvenient if something DOES get bent.

Tony, I got you over here on the east coast...if something happens, just give me your rim and I'll hook you up. I'm on "preferred status" at the rim repair shop...been going there for years. They do all my tire replacement work because they have the best balancing equipment in Maryland. I just ship my tires there directly when it's time for new ones.

If you mail your rim to them, which many people are forced to do, it could take weeks before they get to it, because they're so backed up. But, when I walk in, I could get a repair done in a week, if not less.
