Default Bent Wheel

I obtained these wheels for free. I painted them and polished the lip and now I love them. The problem is that that they have bends on the inside lip. I work at a shop and have been thinking of torching them and then bending the lip back in place. Just need some opinions. Have you guys done this before. Having the shop fix them is not a alternative once again got them for free and really don't wanna spend money on them. Thanks In Advance.

yaa i wouldnt torch them i think that would ruin the integrity of the alloy but idk. it really depends on how bad the rims are bent. use bead sealer if your worried about them leaking. post up some pics

think of a paperclip... when you bend them they lose a lot of their strength. same thing with wheels, i wouldn't risk it.
