Default Bent Rim

Hi Everyone - I was due for an oil change/rotation so I took it in. I had them balance the wheels because I was getting a small vibration around 55 MPH. Anyways, turns out the wheel is bent. 336.00 for a new one. But, what do you think of this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-15x6-5-MUSCA-Wheel-for-850-S60-V70-S70-S80_W0QQitemZ350218159309QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors _Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item518aa104cd&_ trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12|39%3A1|72%3 A1171

It's only a few hours from my house, so I would get it UPS by the end of the week.

Thanks.

Repairing the bent rim not an option for you or do you want to take advantage of it now and purchase a new set? ;-)

I had a really badly bent rim due to a pot hole and the place I took it to fixed it like new. I was really concerned since my set was no longer available (ronal rim) anywhere but luckily I avoided having to replace all 4.

I didn't know a bent rim could be repaired? I thought it was trashed at that point. One of my rims is pretty badly scratched up like the prior owner scraped a curb, so I'm hoping that's the one that is bent.

Anyways, the rim I was going to get on eBay is the wrong one. The only one I could find searching the web was only 50 bucks cheaper, and didn't include shipping.

Not sure if you're still looking for a solution for your bent rim but I can tell you that Keystone Automotive can fix them. http://www.keystone-auto.com/

I had all 4 of my rims re-done for about $90/each. Good luck with your problem, I know how annoying a vibration can be.
