I bought some 5 Zigen Division 3's, and 1 has a bend in it. Its on the inside of the rim. Is it possible for me to heat up the area where the bend is and use a rubber mallet or something else to carefully knock it back into place? ANyone ever try this before?

 

i've hammered a rim back into place before...

got a piece of /dense/ wood (don't remember exactly what kind). with a sander i shaped the end of it into the curvature of the rim. then put it on there and beat the dent back in.

worked well. looked like nothing had ever happened.

:edit: probably dont wanna put a torch to it. (unless there's no tire on there)

 

Actually im gonna get new tires, the guy had them on his S13 and theyre staggered and bald

I was thinking of heating it up with a torch, then using a small mallet and like, a piece of wood or something to dampen the impact of the mallet to bend it back. Thanks for the info

 

get the wheel experts to do it and should only cost no more than $100.
