How do I repair an Enkei Win wheel?

There is a small bend in one of my wheels and I was wonderin if it is fixable and how much would it cost. The wheel won't hold air anymore and I'm getting frustrated because these have been discontinued for a while.

So fix it or TRY to find a replacement. Those are my only options.

thanx

Thats a sick wheel...id try to fix it...

have you tried contacting Enkie about it??? I know I have seen shops advertise rim straightnig...I think I saw it in motor trend or one of those types of magazines. You may want to try to look there..

I hope it works out for you...good luck

Thanx for the reply. I talked to Enkei earlier and they told me those wheels were fossils compared to style changes in wheels. I will call around Columbus and see if anyone does any straightening. I hate to try to find a replacement. Mine are powdercoated and I'm afraid it won't match if I get just one done. Dig.

I check around. If anyone has a lead on a company that repairs wheels, let me know

later

Is the bend on the outside or inside of the wheel? I recently had this problem with two of my Enkei V1s. There is a shop here in Virginia called Wheel Wizard (not sure if it's a chain or if it's just local). The bends that are on the inside of the wheel can usually be repaired, but they can't do anything for you if they're on the outside.

Wheel Wizard was actually referred to me by Enkei when I called them.

It really sucks having discontinued wheels... good luck and be careful!
