Before you scrap your wheel, take it to someone reputable. I have had wheels which I was absolutely certain where going to be recycled, but were pulled back into shape and guaranteed safe for use. My front driver side has a wobble just as well and will be having it repaired once the winter wheels go on. It's worth a try man! Else, scour ebay and Craigs.

Two shops out of the 10 I called, said the damage didn’t sound like anything serious and want me to bring it in. I measured it at 1-2mm max lateral wobble. This is with my crude eyeball method and a ruler.
I’m still suspicious though. Why are all the other shops telling me it can’t be fixed. Or is it just because they can’t fix that? I’ve had bent lips before, and unfortunately the lip is straight here. Shit. There is one more shop out in Edison that I saw put up videos of fixing wobbly rims. So going to try them also. But there is some hope still in me. If they can fix it, then I will have them refinish all of mine. Seriously the roads around here have cost me thousands in direct damage. I can only imagine how much suspension damage was also accelerated by these roads.

Here's another wheel repair facility to consider, I've used them for two vehicles with very good results.

I will let you guys know what happens. So far 1 place in Brooklyn, 1 in LI, and 1 in NJ are asking to bring it in as it doesn’t sound like a major issue to them.

Great news. The shop fixed my rim. Said it wasn’t bad at all. Got all of mine refinished same time. Love my perfect rims again.

I almost shipped them out to Texas based on your shop recommend in the daily e53 thread. Found one 40 min away from me. Almost painted them a dark bronze as well. Last minute decided to keep them stock.
