I found a set of rims I would like to buy (used) but one of the spokes is cracked and the rim is bend. It appears that there is a curb rash right at the end of one of the spokes. It is a 7 spoke rim.

Also when I spun the rim on the car, the rim is bent in that same spot.

I know the spoke can be welded, but does anyone know a reputable shop locally that can fix this? I just would like it straightened and welded. I can do all the finish work and polishing.

Also, any idea what this would cost?

I have video of the rim spinning so you can see the bend and pics of the crack.

Thanks

I got mine fixed and straightened for 75 but its not local. They have a great rep in widening and repairing all types of rims. Email him a pic and he will get back to you within a day or so with an estimate.
