aluminum wheel missing piece
Wow that's pretty impressive repair work. Is any aluminum rim with similar damage fixable or is it just forged, spun wheels. I was kind of curious what the process for that is. Do you heat it up and push it out with a hydraulic die or hammer it out?
thanks most wheels on the market are cast and are fixable, but the billet and forged wheels are strong and easier to repair... theres a structure test i do before i work the wheels to see if theres any liability in repairing it, i wont touch the wheel if the spokes are cracked.

Wow! Nice work. Quite jealous of your ability there. I have a couple of damaged aluminum 16's and would love to fix the edges (original owner curbed; not nearly like that wheels damage though) but I'm personally not capable and it's probably to expensive to have someone repair and it be worth the money.
some wheels are worth it and some arent i charged him $100. yea those wheels were on a truck they didnt make them anymore he told me
