Default Flat spot on rim advice

I picked up a set of mickey thompson classic 2s on craigslist for 130, one rim has a flat spot on it all the other ones seem fine, i went to a local rim shop and the said they could "maybe" fix it for 100, what would the ride be like with a "maybe" fix? Or should i just orde a new one.

Those wheels have been discontinued so you are going to have to do a little searching....if you needed 15" wheel I have a source but the 17" is hard to find. I would keep watching the forums.

Personally I wouldn't run a repaired wheel on the highway but that is just me....not worth the risk at 65-70 MPH.

try a different rim shop. my brother used to have a bimmer. hit a curb with a $1K deductable. found a rim shop they said "maybe" found another and said the first said "maybe" they said "for sure" and it looked brand new.

HAHA the power of competition

worth a try

If they can't fix it, it will vibrate. It is rather annoying
