Bent rim: fix or replace? 850 1994

My 94 850 has fancy factory wheels. The inboard rim on one of them is bent -- couldn't avoid a rock. Not a big bend: the bead is still holding pressure, but the rim is slightly out of round.

Can you offer advice on repair vs. replace?

Thanks!

I would look to replace. Check out http://www.erievovo.com or other recycler for best prices. I had to replace on my 93 when same injury started into a hairline crack and would not hold pressure. $90 from a local recycler.

Look for your particular rim on eBay or if you don't see your rim there, advertise that you want one here, on Volvospeed and Swedespeed forums. If you're patient, you'll eventually be able to pick one up for between $80 and $150. This price is about the same as having one straightened professionally.
