Bent wheel

Has anyone had to replace a bent wheel on a 2012 MCS?

Where did you buy it?

ECS Tuning sells OEM wheels. Either that or the dealer I'm guessing.

How badly bent? I've had two straightened very satisfactorily by these folks. They are mobile and have operators all over. The guy had the wheels off and back on in less than an hour while I stood back and watched.

Three spots on the inside.
Still holds air and do not notice a wobble.

Thanks for the info.

I bought a repaired 2010 Camden MCS wheel (hard to find) from these folks and am very pleased. I couldn't tell any difference from a new wheel. Cost about $ 175 as I recall. They even delivered it using the USPS to my PO Box, and it was very well packaged.

Hope you can find a rep. in your area. No wobble, he can have it straightened just fine.

Wheels can be straightened and trued with great results. Unless they are cracked from a more serious impact. Typical price for true and refinish is about $160.00 to $200.00
