yes, i know their is a shop near me that specializes in this, however if your rims are fairly cheap its normally about the same amount of money to have it fixed than to buy a new one.

make sure its a good person, well know trusted etc, why? becasue most rims except for steel with crack of they are bent back the wrong way, or by some one who has little experience
