hello everyone,

i managed to bend my one rim on my 190E, i hit a pothole on a bridge pretty hard and sure enough it pissed of the rim and it bent. So luckily I had a spare which is the exact same rim as I have on all 4s so the car doesnt look like ****. What I was wondering is there any place that i could get the rim bent back into shape or is it not worth it financially? I would want to replace it with another one of the same style:



Anyone know where I might get one of these bad boys without having to sell an organ?

Thanks,

Kris

Find a wheel shop in your part of the world. I have one in Houston called www.wheelcrafters.com and they can fix that sort of thing for $150.

have those exact same 'mekab' wheels on the bro's 190d, and when picked them off the bay.. one was bent.
brought it to a local wheel shop and they quoted me about $90.. but when it came back better, but still bent.. haggled $70.
moral of the story being.. it isnt an exact science, depends on the quality of work, and does have a limit on what can be fixed.

these wheels bend easy compared to amg monoblock II's.. kind of think of them as my beater wheels.
even still, they look good, and not much vibration under normal driving.. wheels are eventually going to get banged up.
but def would be running 225/45/17s for the max rubber underneath, nice rig by the way.. that a diesel?

thanks for the heads up, no thats a 190E 2.6 my other MB is a 300SD.
Im going to look into getting the rim bent back into shape, we'll see how that goes..a new rim is from MB is like $300...or some godly high price...

thanks

kris
