Default For Sale/ (Rear) Z 06 Speedline wheel

GM Speedline 10-1/2"X 18" Z 06 wheel.

I'm fortunate enough to be a neighboring town to Weld Craft Wheel Specialist.
One of, if not the best repair shop in the US.

This wheel had a very slight bend to it.
As you can see where it was repaired.
It is 100% corected.
$175. shipped............ OBO

Without a before picture it is meaningless. You could have bought a good wheel for less $$ - I think.

You don't know what you are talking about.

It's very hard to see by eyeballing a "slightly bent wheel".

I had no idea the wheel was slightly "untrue", until spun on a machine.
Thus the reason of having it repaired.( costly/properly )

If your not interested in buying, I don't need your negative input to my for sale thread...... as per forum rules.

Have a great weekend.

Actually, a rear wheel particularly can be roadforce balanced to ride just fine even if it's a little out of round. A good roadforce tech has no problem doing that. bumble-z is well respected on here and went the distance on a very minor repair here. People who have no personal experience commenting on such a minor adjustment annoy me..............

Depends on how its bent. The dealer scratched one of my stock wheels when installing a tire. They sent it out to their wheel repair company. The company refused to repair the scratch since the wheel was bent through the hub area and was non serviceable. I never felt a thing when driving the car before or after the tire was installed. Dealer bought me a new wheel instead.
