During the snow days I ran my car into the curb.
The damage? a bent rim that now causes shakes during speeds of 100km+
Already go the allignment done so all that is needed is to fix the bend.

Can you guys recommend me a shop and provide me a rough estimate please? It is a bend roughly 4 inches long and quarter inch deep.

Thanks

Thanks guys for all the input. I think I'll give them a visit so I can get a visual estimate.

Oh these ain't aftermarket wheels. They are actually the factory wheels of the Subaru forester.
Similar to these ones

Would it still be around 200?

True that. I believe the OEM cost of replacement is 160 so if the price draws way too close I'm just gonna opt for a replacement.

Thanks for your help.
