thanks. i fixed it now

Suggestions?

Yes fixable but be prepared to pay for it. They are not alpina but they look great on E21 and 2002's as this what they were made for. The offset is low for e30 at et-11 for the 15x7's.

Tru Wheel in North Hollywood is a place I've used in the past.

Thanks ill look into it. I've looked into some places that say they do it with a hammer and heat. Is that the proper way or is a machine supposed to be used?
I also don't think the hammer method will let the rim be balanced properly. Suggestions?

If you're a cheap bastard like 95% of r3v, you could eyeball it with a hammer and a lot of heat. You might be able to get it to look straight, but it will cause vibrations at speed.

Best bet is to bring it to someone who knows what theyre doing.

It amazes me how similar these look to stock 13" E21 wheels.

Hammer is the ghetto way. Ive done it to wheels a bunch but that one looks bad. A good wheel.place wheel have a press to true it up.

so i took it to the shop called tru wheel and apparently the wheel cannot be fixed because of the inner side of the barrel is badly bent and even if he repaired it, it would still wobble. so now i got a giant paper weight.

btw anyone know what this wheel is called?

Clean that wheel up, polish the lip, clear coat, and hang it up next to outdoor spigot for a custom hose hanger.

There's also Bolton's in Gardena. They look like E21 wheels with the centers painted.
