Straightening a rim?

[tubbs831]

So I had these rims on my previous truck but I got into an accident and it bent one of the rims. What is your thoughts or knowledge on straightening them? Is it worth it? How much do you think I could list them for as is?

It can be done as long as there's no cracks. I've had several done years ago when I drove a BMW with low profile tires. I bent one running over a city titty. Can't tell you how much it cost (too many years ago), but I'm sure it was less than a new wheel or it wouldn't be feasible. Check with a local body shop for a source.

it can be done. altho, that looks to be too much damage.

also, the repair would be as much, or more than that wheels costs. you should be able to get a matching used one for $25 or so. I think they are only around $100 new.


edit: I have those same wheels on my 85. bought new many years ago. $400 for the set.

Thanks guys. Yeah there is no cracks on the wheel but I also thought it might be to bent. I will talk to some shops and see what they think. I have been searching CL but no luck so far with finding a extra rim to complete this set.
