I just found out one of my wheels is bent on my 2013 F Sport. Not sure how that could be since there is zero rash or any indication of impact that would cause it to be bent. Discount Tire said they may be able to bend it back, whatever that means, for about $150 with no certainty so it looks like I need to replace it. Any suggestions on a good source at a reasonable price?

Thanks.

I think you should get a second opinion about the out of round wheel. $150 is a bit steep. I live in NYC and hitting a pothole and having out of round wheels is almost guaranteed.

It typically costs between $60-$100 to straighten a wheel from a good wheel shop. If you don't want to bother you may be able to find a good wheel on eBay.

I agree with AJLex19. Get a 2nd opinion about the condition of the wheel before replacing it.

As others have said, get a second opinion, but straightening the rim itself is no big deal.

I bent two of them hitting a very hard bump in a corner doing ~75... the only thing to watch out for is that the straightening process will heat the rims and require that the shop repaint them... make sure that they get the color match correct... in my case I initially drove off the lot with 2 newly painted black rims, and 2 OEM smoke colored rims; i didn't notice until the next day!

Did you know our f-sport rims aren't really black
