So Ive got a set of 17" wheels that have some dents (potholes in MD are a bitch) anyone ever get a wheel repaired before? What kind of cost am I looking at here? Am I better off just buyingnew ones?

I got one of my rims on my last eclipse fixed. Looked brand spanking new, usually costs between 100 to 180 bucks. So it depends on if its worth it to fix it or not

Also it depends on what type of rim it is. For alloy you are better off bringing it somewhere for the cost that he said. But for steel you can just bang those out yourself

There are companies out there that do this type of repair. I use Transwheel and Turbax, I am sure they both have web sites you can Google. The normal cost is around $129.00 with a repairable wheel exchange. hope this helps
