Thanks to the lovely charlotte roads here, one of my front rims is now bent but not too bad imo, but still bent

I have 19" . . I should have gone smaller I know, but I'm looking for a place to get it fixed without trashing the chrome. Can anyone recommend a shop in or around charlotte (i'll drive 2 and a half hours out of downtown) that can do it? it holds air fine and only vibrates bad at 85 (well shakes the front end) and its only an inside bend. . . so I need to get it fixed asap. Discount tire is the only one i have found that can do it (or that wants to do it) but their subbing it out to someone for 150 which to me is kinda steep. . .i did a pancaked rim in so cal for 175 (it looked like a "D")

I had the same issue about 2 yrs ago. Call Eternity Wheels in Salisbury, NC. They will pick up and deliver. They also refinish the wheel after the repair. Very good work

Discount tire in front of concord mills has a guy that picks up there and does good work. I had him fix one of my wheels. About $115. Ask for Tom the manager and tell him Ryan the BMW guy sent you.

I think the Wheel Exchange in Raleigh, NC does this kind of stuff. I don't have their info but I'm sure if you go to thewheelexchage.com you can find out.

I believe it was about $115 or so. Well worth it for the quality of work and the fact that they came all the way to my job 485/S. Tryon to pick it up at no extra cost
