It's a buddy 170i. If it is bent, where can I get a new rim?

I think this could work off of Scooterworks but I'd check with your dealer if you have a local one.

There's certainly a wobble there. Are you sure the bearings are good? (feel like I'm repeating myself as I suggested that on another thread today) If you grab the wheel and pull it side to side, do you feel movement at the hub? Is there a reason to think you bent the wheel - like you ran into something substantial with it?
