The spring replacement confounds me as well...must have been one helluva pothole!

Alloy wheels can be straightened...I've seen severely-beaten rims from a Baja racer brought to near-new condition...I had a bent alloy on a former car straightened for $25...couldn't tell it was ever damaged.

I suspect the shop would have charged something like $600 if they had to replace the wheel!
