Wheel unbending & poweder coat?

[gbarros]

So one of my winter rims seems to be bent to the point that it leaks air. Just one of those great things you notice after you buy them and the seller seems to disappear...

Any recommendations on places i can take it to get it fixed? I live in Madison, WI

I am also interested in getting them stripped and powder coated, they are in terrible shape paint-wise also. A regular paint job would be fine with me too, I'm just not wanting to spend a bunch of money on these as they are just winters.

Thanks!

What are the winter wheels? Do not plan on getting wheels straightened, then stripped and powder coated. Unless you have the absolutely most expensive wheels (unlikely for winter use), it will cost more to do all this than simply buy new ones.

Get them straightened, about $100 a wheel and call it a day. I would think the vibration would drive you nutz before the air leak does.

I'm considering just buying new ones and being done with it... $500 might be worth it to stop hearing my wife talk about my "fancy bmw with the nasty wheels" :)
