From VW your looking at 300 quid I would imagine. Why not take the alloy to a good refurb place and get them to straighten it?

Does it balance? If so leave it.

............x2.One of mine has a very slight buckle but balanced up ok last time i had new tyres. Tyre fitted said it's safe but if i was bothered have it fitted on the rear & def not enough damage to warrant a new rim. :smiley:
