2000 Chrysler Cirrus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Good afternoon,
I am writting to you from Powder Springs, GA; we had some incliment weather the past couple of days which resulted in small amounts of snow and ice. This afternoon on my home from work today, I hit a patch of black ice and ended up hitting and running up on a curb with the front tire. Since this has happen there is a extreme shake. My question to you is how can I tell that in fact this wheel is bent? Can this be fixed or do I need to replace it? Can you suggest a reasonably priced company in which I can get this taken care of?
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a good afternoon.
Sincerely,
Paige Durham
Powder Springs, GA

Jack up that corner of the car, apply the parking brake, start the engine, and run it slowly in gear. You will see the wheel wobble as it rotates. Any repair shop can do this too. They can also spin it on a wheel balancer so you can see it.

Any salvage yard will have matching wheels for much less than the cost of a new one.
