Bent M3 19" Sport Wheel. Easy fix?

[ithinkmac]

Bented wheel driving over pot-hole. Pretty big dent on the wheel. Got replacement, thinking of fixing bented wheel to use as full size spare?

Not sure how do-able it is or is it just as safe after repairing?

What are my options? Thanks.

Most wheel repair places will charge you in the $350 range or up to fix a bent wheel depending on how bad it is.

Where you going to keep the spare? In the trunk? Not a bad idea to have one, but the cost for a wheel repair is nearly as much as a new wheel...so don't see the point personally if you are running run flat tires?

In Texas, should be around $100 a wheel at a good wheel shop.
@ $350 you’re better off buying a new one if that’s the range you’re seeing in SF.

A replacement 19" wheel is $300 last I remember so no point in fixing if it costs over that. My previous car dealership bent back a 19" AMG wheel for $200 and it was like new after. I figure if the dealership would recommend a $200 repair over a $1400 replacement it's probably safe and fine to do.

Tesla charged me $750 for the replacement wheel. Can't order it online, so order through service center.
