Well got my wheel back. They unmounted the tire. Fixed the bend, re machines the lip, shot a clear coat on the lip and remounted the tire. They charge me $150 out the door....ehhh They quoted me $140 first. Magmaster was gonna do it for $85 but not re-machine the whole lip only the outside of it.
Overall the wheel is straight. Of course it isnt exact as the other wheels cause they had to mill down the material so its a bit thinner on the edge. The one thing I noticed right away is the clear isnt the same as the original finish. Its a bit more hazy and the lip looks more whitetish compared to the original. Oh well. Let me know what you guys think. is it possible to get a perfect match? Or is this as good as it gets?
I have a minor bend also in the rear rim, its still drivable so I think imma hold out. For $150, it isnt worth fixing yet.
