im not going to go in-depth about what happened, but i hot a rock going about 40-45mph. i have searched, but everyone else hits a pothole, not a rock. and they didnt mention one major topic when discussing.

what they all forgot to mention was the structural integrity of a wheel, after it has been rebent. because i hit a rock, and the wheel might have to be rebent, would it weaken the wheel any, or would it be the same as before?



fixable or not??

ya i think u can fix that..
if its rota..use that for table and buy another one.lol

 

no its not a rota, but it is discontinued. so i would like to repair it. but will it weaken the wheel?

 

i say hammer time!

1 of my volk gtns were like that and i didnt want to pay like 250ish or so to get it bent back. so i said **** it....hammered the hell out of it and tada! looks better, but wheel was a bit off balance when try tried to mount the tire on. no biggie..lol

 

my friend bent a wheel like that. we took it to a place and ask if they would hammer it back he said he wouldnt do it because its aluminum. that area will be come brittle when you hammer the **** out of it.

its best to take it to a professional wheel shop and have them do it.

 

think of a paperclip... bending it weakens it. same principal, yes it will be weaker, but it is definately repairable.
