Wheel refinishing is $100-150. Straightening, truly straightening, is more like half the cost of a new wheel. |
I'm not sure what truly straightening is but my wheel was super bent from hitting three deep potholes lined up together. The lip was visibly bent and also inner barrel but I went to a shop to check if they can fix it. They checked and said they could straighten it. They called me to pick up on the same day and I've been using the wheel with no vibration at all for almost half a year now. That was my experience with my first bent rim and it did indeed cost $130 Canadian dollars
