Also appreciate everyone passing on the confidence in repaired wheels as to my reasonably mechanical minded head, I don't get how they do this on what seems like a fairly brittle chunk of metal but have confidence in the advice given here.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had my wheels "road force balanced" to take out a vibration at 70mph and they found one bent rear one causing the problem. I've put 10k miles on it since I bought so its not a big deal but my OCD won't let it go. So, I can't find a reasonably priced used wheel (think they are called Carrera Classics) on eBay, three dismantlers so far, or in the classifieds here so am considering the Victor Zehns. Here are the questions: 1. Would anyone have one 18x10 to fit a NB 2003 they would sell? 2. Would those who have the need for winter wheels be interested in the old ones for cheap since they are obviously drivable or should I just chuck the bad one and sell the good three? 3. The Victor site lists only 18x11 for the rear Zehns. I run the 295/30's on the rear with stock suspension. Consensus from searches seems to be that this will pose no problems. If anyone can give me recent experience with this combo I would appreciate it. I would post a pic but site won't let me grab photos from iPad. Not sure what's up with that. Wheels are as seen in my avatar. Thanks in advance for any info.

POST 2Original post

You do understand that you can fix a bent wheel, right? It's usually about $150, and works great (assuming it's not a major bend). Check your local area but I know Wheel Wizards is in CA. http://www.wheelwizard.com/ -Shawn

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Actually, did not so thanks. Will look into. Another buddy referred me to newwheel.com but they don't have the 18x10, only the fronts. They'll buy the bad wheel for 165. Their sell price when they have them available is rediculous.

POST 4Original post

I had a wheel fixed locally (BBS Sport Design, rear) for $175 - 2 piece wheel. Spec Wheels in Commerce City CO. Came out looking like new (it had curb rash and bent spot).

POST 5Original post

If not too bad they can fix it I had one slightly bend last year and for $125.00 a locak rim repair shop fixed it and it's good as new.

POST 6Original post

I've had countless bent/cracked wheels restored over the years. I've never had a repaired wheel re-crack or bend in the same place. In California, there are quite a few reputable wheel repair shops that should be able to fix you up pretty quick for a reasonable amount of money.

POST 7Original post

I've used these guys numerous times. They are in North Hollywood - Link . Friend of mine used them when a 5/8 wrench went through the rear rim on his NSX.

POST 8Original post

Check with Wheel Dynamics who are located in Monterey Park, California. They sell Victor products and they also repair wheels Good luck

POST 9Original post

What part in CA? Seems like you are So Cal I have my local guy in Walnut Creek - Rite Way Wheels - They do some amazing work on bent wheels and refinishing. I had recently an incident with the tire shop who installed my CTT wheels so had them refinished. They look like new now. Oh, he found out 2 of my wheels were bent

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you all for the tips. I should change my generic "CA" location to Los Gatos. Thanks to francars. Will get in touch with Rite Way in the Creek. I am up that way weekly. Also appreciate everyone passing on the confidence in repaired wheels as to my reasonably mechanical minded head, I don't get how they do this on what seems like a fairly brittle chunk of metal but have confidence in the advice given here. Will have to inquire on that topic.
