Found a decent size dent in my rear wheel. Not bad but I have noticed a slight vibration. Let me know what you have.

Thanks.
 
Check local shops as there are places that can straighten wheels with great success. My boss just had one done local here for about $80.00. It was a 24" wheel from his truck and the dent was significant. You cannot tell it was ever damaged now. :D
 
Another option is an 04-06 R1 rear wheel. Other years may fit as well, but I'm not sure.
 
Thanks for the tips. We have a really good frame/wheel guy in nearby Sacramento, if he can do it for $80, that would be great!
 
Deftone I managed to put a flat spot in my rim. No sure how it compares to yours. After much thought I decided to have it repaired rather than go for a replacement and am very happy with the result.

There was a little cosmetic damage. The repair guy made it quite clear that this would happen because of the way they do the repair. In the end the damage wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.

It's just a small scratch on the rim and given the number of stone chips already there you don't notice it.
