Can an MR BBS be trued?

I got in a wreck last week and i bent one of my wheels. They are the diamond black MR limited edition wheels. The insurance company says they will pay to have it fixed. Can a Forged wheel be trued?? Please any info would be helpful, and the sooner the better.

Depends how badly were talking. Wanna post a pic??

I had a slight bend rounded out in my wheel, but there was no peak to the bend and it was on the inner lip of the wheel. They rounded it back out and got it 99.9% true.

Probably can but the repair will be the weakest part of the wheel.

Just an FYI.. you may want to tell them they are NOT MR wheels and rather, SE wheels if they are "Diamond Black"

Try to see if they'll just send you a check for how much the dealer is asking and then buy one from an evo owner. Make some profit. lol

I tried that but the dealer and insurance adjuster are playing by the rules, No good for me, I could have gotten an exhaust and a flash!
