i wouldnt recommend repairing a bent or cracked wheel to anyone. what kind of wheel is it? you may be better off finding another one. one the grain structure of aluminum is disrupted the integrity of the wheel is compromised. post pics of the damage. you're life in on that wheel so i would seriously reconsider repairing the wheel.

Also depends on if the wheel is forged or cast.

They are 17in ZR1 rims from a 2000 SS. The chrome is pretty bad on 2 of them. 1 rim is slightly bent on the lip. I want to strip the chrome and have them painted. I will post some pics when I can.

i would strip the chrome, and have them powder coated. paint will not last as long or be as durable as PC.
