Bent Weld wheel.

I have a bent rear Weld Prostar. Can it be repaired? It wobbles driving down the road and makes contact with the brake caliper. Thanks guys.

Sounds pretty bent, I'd google some wheel repair places and get their take, you may just need to replace it.

Pro Stars cost on average about $200 new. The local wheel repair shop charges minimum $125 with the amount of damage you are talking about you may as well just buy a new one.

******* almost to embaressed to say. I bought Sam's Prostars and had Wal Mart mount the tires. Last time I EVER make that mistake. But desperate times desperate measures. I was trying to get to the midnights.
As for the price of the fix, I was afraid of that. Doh! Just buy a new wheel I guess.
