Straightening bent rims

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

They straightened one of my Rota Competition (pure crap!) rims that came on my 16V for me.
Maybe they knew they are no longer available, but it cost me $165 and it looked like something I
could do in my garage with a torch, hammer, 80 grit sandpaper and a can of crappy silver paint.
But, thanks for the input anyway.
