    Does someone know if CS wheels can be repaired when bent? I hit a dip in the road which caused a 2 inch long dent on the outer rim of front driver side wheel. Air seems to be holding tight after 2 days. How much would repair cost? If not fixable, how much is a new wheel?

    TIA

    Just did the same a few weeks ago, even messed up my alignment real bad on my 348, just this morning took it to Lucent for a 4 wheel alignment, absolutely the best alignment I ever had. He will also fix my bent rims. So the car goes back on Monday!

    It was a bent ball polish rim off my F430. Only had 1300 miles on it. Hit a pot hole in the left lane of Hwy 101 at 70MPH. I actually ordered a new one over night because I needed my car and did not want to wait a week for it to be repaired. It cost me $3200 for a rim and tire with labor and balancing. I gave the bill to my insurance company and paid the deductible. I had the rim repaired and keep it as a back up in my garage.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I dropped off the car with Tom at Lucent. He is close and I know he'll get the job done well.

    You are in good hands. He loves cigars (if you are a smoker).
    Tell Tom I say hello, Steve with the Titanium 430 Spider.
