Default Wheel Staightening

I was told I have two slightly bent rear rims. So slight that it is not noticeable to the eye. But the road force balancer indicated it. Very slight according to the technician. But they were able to get the rims to road force balance within Lexus's tolerances.

No road rash or visible issue to the rims. But I can feel a very, very slight vibration in my seat at highway speed. Very slight. But it comes and goes.

Dealer wants $140 per rim to fix. Anyone had a OEM wheel straightened? Did it work?

There are plenty of places who can fix wheels for $50 to $200 depending on who you call.. .especially for a minor repair like that. An oem wheel is easier to deal with than a custom wheel in most cases
