It definitely looks like a good well known rim repair shop could fix.

A local wheel place it town fixes them for $125-150. That looks fixable from your pics.

www.wheelcollision.com
They fixed an even uglier dent in one of my TTII Classic wheels. Was less than $150 shipped there, repaired, and shipped back to me. They even polished out the work on the rim!!

How do you like those tires? Tire Rack sells they rather inexpensively, and they are rated quite highly...

I've never has a problem with them. They seem pretty good, but there definitely not like the Nitto DRs i had on the stuck 16s.

I wouldn't use them at the track though.

There are places that fix damaged rims. But you might be able to fix it w/ a rubber mallet like someone mentioned. Good Luck.

i had a similar bend. didn't do anything to the wheels integrity or balance. just looked like chit. i took a lead mallet to it. the kind used for knock off wire wheels. lead won't scratch chrome much, with a towel or something to cover the wheel, none will be left behind. took quite a bit of effort with a lead mallet so i doubt a rubber mallet would cut it. i had to strike the chit out of the wheel. anyway, i got it to line very close but the chrome around the area is wavy. no big deal and i live wih it because i have discontinued wheels as well.

I agree fixable for sure. I got a dent in my wheel almost exactly like that (I got pics somewhere). A place called Rim and Wheel works fixed it for me for $100.

is that thing still holding air?? rubber mallet plus towel over the wheel... you have to be careful because it can bubble the inside of your wheel and cause a major *** blow out... i learned the hard way
