Wheel damage – repairable?

[Tommy Twist]

Hi,

One of my wheels has suffered minor rim damage – I'm wondering if this is something that could be knocked back into place without the wheel having to be fully refurbed...



No idea how this happened, I do my best to avoid the potholes and am not aware of having driven over any object that would be likely to cause a dent like that

Cheers

Have you checked the inside of the rim? This happened to us a while ago, took the wheel off and there was a bigger dent and a small crack on the inside

There are so many pot holes that if you do have to hit one or hit one by mistake it's just another part of motoring.

Hi Davie,

I haven't checked the other side of the rim. Actually, you've just reminded me that I need to check whether or not I have a jack that'll fit under the car!

What kind of jack do you use under yours?

Cheers.

I think it's a Clarke low entry, think it fits under anything 80mm and over. there are others out there but this is the one I went for ...... ok got for Christmas a while back
