Bent rim, repair or replace?
After having my wheels balanced one ended up being bent on the inside, so it was put on the right rear. I have a small but noticeable shimmy at highway speeds. Local places can straighten it for around $40 (I think with a hammer). I'm sure when I ask if it will still shake on the highway they will say no. Will it ride smooth with a quality repair or should I just buy another rim? Thanks.

Steelies, alloy, or aftermarket and how bent it is would influence the answer.
$40 isn't much if it fixes your problem, but I would get a guarantee on that work if the wheel isn't round. As I was once told, "you can balance an egg, but doesn't mean it will roll well."
