Maybe a dumb ? But- is a ATV rim like this repairable by one of those places that does that type of rim repair on car rims???-if it was cheap lets say)- the price on this rim has gone up considerably! its nearly $100 now-I could swear they were $60 a few years ago.I will just end up buying another -but was curious if anyone has had one repaired?
The rim is a : Douglas Red Label(.190)- 10"x9" -(6"/3") -4x110
& YES !- I am really lucky considering this was at about 60mph on my 250R! Hit a small boulder off-road.I stayed onboard luckiy.
Anyone know where to get another at better price?

try ebay. Aluminum rims aren't cheap, I have a 10x10 4+6 4 on 110 with a old 22x11-10 kenda dirt dog tire mounted on it. The rim is new however. Was almost 100 bucks

Check your axle as well. You can swap rims in the back. If you do that and It still wabbles then its not your rim......unless you have two bent rims

.
if the lip of the rim is damaged slightly, the degree of damage can definitely be reduced but it might not be completely eliminated.
if the center is bent causing it to wobble, most machine shops can straighten it at least a little bit on a press.

If your rim is excessively bent to the point of looking like a popular cultural food product then no photos are needed because it is not repairable....nor is it edible.
