    When mounting new tires I found one of the front wheels on my '05 F430 is bent. The wheel looks perfect until on the balancer.

    Any suggestions on where to repair or vendors with replacements? Ricambi is $1600 for one wheel.

    Thanks for your help.

    Any decent rim repair shop will be able to strighten a 430 rim so long as you don't have a crack or chunk taken out of it. It is fairly common on 19s to get a bend on the inside barrel. Call around. I had to straighten 2 OEM AMG rims last summer...it happens.

    If your bend is minor and you did not feel it before visiting the shop, try a shop that uses a Hunter Speedbalancing machine. I have seen these balance out a wheel with a minor bend.
