    I have six 16x4.5 wheels and three of them are bent in the middle. I looks liked they where over tightened and bent the center hub of the wheel. Do rim shops straiten steel wheels because all I am able to find are alloy wheel repair shops.

    A wheel is a wheel regardless of the material they are constructed with, any competent wheel shop should be able to repair your wheel. Good luck!
