Where can you get bent wheels straightened for £60? I have a set of Abt A24s, one of which is a bit bent from where I hit a pothole. Don't really fancy paying £400 for a new one!

I have 3 alloys with bent rims - this is one:

How do you fix them? How mucho?

It usually depends on time taken. Around £20?

One thing that can happen when a rim is straightened, is that it can crack. If that happens, then:

1. It has to be welded.
2. In order to weld it, it needs to be stripped of it's paint.
3. Once welded the excess has to be machined off.
4. Then the wheel has to be repainted.

- Welding and machining can cost anything from £5 to £15.
- Re-painting £30 [for all wheels], colour might not match exactly, would be better to paint a pair or the set again.

Either way, the paint will show signs of where the wheel was straightened. Best to refurbish complete.

Refit tyres at £20 a set with internal balancing weights.

Cheers for the info - I am in Scotland but I plan on coming down south in the next few weeks - I'll get in touch when I get some dates.
