Angry Rim....

Is there any way to fix a bent rim? I hit a pot hole last night and now the lip of my rim is bent. Do you think I can hammer it back down??

ouch ive pounded mine out over and over. just get them room temp ( NOT COLD they'll break). get a 4 pund sledge wrap it with a leather belt and hit it back in shape. it wont be perfect but it will b very close, and it also becomes a weak spot.

NOOOOOOOO!

If you cannot buy another wheel, then try a place www.wheelwizard.com

If they fix it, they will do it so you will never know, but there are limitations.
