Is this rim fixable?

[4g63tcrazy]

About 1 mile from home on my 6 hour drive I hit a fuckin pot hole.. Go figure it's IL and they couldnt fix a street to save their lives. I just picked these up from Mark like a month ago too. I'm soo pissed. Anyway, my friend who works at Discount tire is gonna bring it in to see if it can be fixed. But what do you guys think? Does it look fixable?

The best tool to fix a rim, in my opinion, is a crescent wrench. Give it a try and see what happens. I've fixed many rims that way.

Well my friend is gonna take it in and see what they say. I was talking to another guy who know's someone that is an aluminum specialist and said it should easily be able to be fixed. He also said if it has to be welded (worse-case) it would be like $50 and if it didn't it'd be alot less. So I'm hoping he is pretty accurate on prices.

looks like it might not have been too bad. hope everything is gonna be ok

If the aluminum isn't cracked it should be able to be fixed pretty easily. it doesn't look that bad.

BFH. That looks very fixable.

just make sure they are care full fixing it. If you need a new one it has to come from the UK.

They have a special wrench that fits around the lip on rims so they can be bent back.

Kinda doubt it. Those wheels use to be everywhere and I just googled a bunch of places in the US that still have some.

your not supposed to bent aluminum wheels back. it could crack or break or you just might get lucky and it will look perf.
