Bent rim?

Just got some new Mich PS's and the tech noticed that one of my rims has a very slight bend to it. Good news is that it is not noticable at all when driving, but I was just curious what you sugest?

18" - chrome OEM Millenium edition rims driver's side rear tire

i have a slight bent in mine too. not too noticeable. it was put on a balance machine and said to be still balanced.

you can either leave it as is or have it repaired. otherwise, look for a used one but it'll be hard to find w the chrome paint finish.

You can get them fixed for around $100, if thats worth it to you. I had a small bend become much larger.

Both my rears were bent slightly. Had them fixed along with some curb rash. I could feel the diff, especially at speed. Get them fixed.
