Need help with a bent wheel

I bent the front driver side wheel on my CS. Does someone know if these wheels are repairable and how much it would cost? If not how much is a new CS wheel?

TIA

check with some of your local race shops to see who they use in your area...only an expert can tell you if your wheel can be repaired or not...repair would be much less expensive than a new wheel or one you found used...good luck

OEM wheels are of cast construction. Welded repairs of cracks may be problematical. From what I have seen on the forums, these wheels can be replaced at low cost.
