So ok. I go to get my Z33 wheels mounted and everything is proceeding like a dream. Until the tech gets to the last wheel. He shows me the balancing machine and proceeds to inform me that the wheel is "horribly bent..."

I put it on anyway since it still holds air. The ride is bumpy as hell, though. It was the last wheel in the set that I bought and the most expensive. I'm not looking forward to spending another $130 to have it repaired. I might as well buy another wheel for that price.

I've tried removing bends in the past with a rubber mallet, 2x4's, ect and failed terribly. So, is anybody able to help me get these 2 bends out?

Oh and no pics until I find my digital camera. It's sexy as hell. 18x8.5+33 all around works just fine with 225/40/18's lowered on Eibach Pro's.
