Default rim straightening.... anyone know a place?

I've got a set of 17" Mille Miglia Evo Sports with good tires on them... I havnt used them in a few years cause I bent one.... now I want them back. The bend is not too bad, just a flat spot on the inner edge of one wheel, though it was enough to break the bead and deflate the tire. Anyone know a shop I can have this sent out too?

sorry, no pics... im out of state. I want to go home this weekend to pack it up and ship it out.

Thanks

Joe

Default if you're shipping it, Wheel Collision in Bath, PA

Otherwise, try your regional forum, there is likely someplace that can do it.

Default Costs about $100 a wheel...

with no guarantees. You maybe better off buying a new wheel
