2011 ​​​350 Bent OEM front rims.
Left just a bit, right is more obvious .
Wobble visible on the inside of the rim only.
Found out today, while balancing new tires.
Not noticeable when driving, but wondering if prolong use puts stress on whole suspension.
Is it more economical to repair or replace?

I would bite a bullet and replace it if you plan to keep your car for a while AND the bent is severe. Take them to a wheel repair shop to see what they say.

Bent is not severe. You can't even see it(slight wobble) until it's rotated on the balancing machine.
2 local shops want $125-$135 each to straighten them.
