I have a bent wheel. Does anyone know a good repair shop here in Los Angeles that could repair the dent?

Please take a look at the picture:



Thanks!
Joe

Joe, all they would do to 'repair' it take a rubber mallet and hammer it out.
Any wheel shop could do it. if you want to take it to a reputable shop, I'm sure EuroRev could do it for you.
but i would suggest taking it to a tire shop and have them hammer it back in to place.

hmmm is that really how they repair these types of bends? I thought it would take a lot more force than a human to bend these back?

That sucks Joe. Hopefully you can get it fixed pretty easy and cheaply - good luck, sorry I don't know any good rim repair shops

I had Ryan at http://wheelrevivers.com/ weld and straighten a cracked 124 rim. Cost was $250 total and it is doing fine. Service was fast, picked up and delivered with one day turnaround.
