Bent Aluminum wheel
 
How does one go about bending it back? It's not bent real bad, will try for a pic of it soon.

Can you put a lil heat to it and bend it back?

Anyone know of someone that can do it around Missouri? Like Jeff City or STL area?

I dont think you want to put heat to aluminum unless you really know what your doing, what did you do curb it??

I doubt you will ever get the bead to seal good again. You'll probably end up with a slow leak. Unless there is a way to do this that I don't know about:pca1:

you might just try a hammer, but im not sure you'll be able to get a tire to bead right on it

That's what we were thinkin.


Maybe get it as close as possible and tube it?

stkdram55 12-31-2008 04:03 AM

maybe, how did the back of the rim get bent and not the front side:humm:

I'm guessing a rock when it went into the ditch....
