Default Shaping Rims
My buddy got rims about a year ago with his old A4 and one of them was bent in a ovalish shape. He never used them because of this. I was wondering if there is a way to reshape the rims?

Thanks!!!

Www.fixrim.com - good reputation in other car circles. I've heard good things about them.

Thank you very much for that reference!

the rim looks kinda like this shape... the small oval shape. Is there a machine that can make it round again?

I have no idea - just call them up and ask if they can handle it.
