Hi All,

just back from trip to Ukraine. Omega ran great. unfortunately I hit a pothole not far from the border on the way back, the tyre appears still ok, but there's a dent on the rim itself (inside). Can these types of dents be righted like you can on a steel rim? I have the 100 years anniversary rims( mine is a 08/99 opel omega).

3909km in 7 days, average 68km/h, 7.3L/100KM

I believe that you can repair some quite serious damage to alloy rims, but I would think it all depends how badly you've bent it. I would think it'd be cheaper to find A N Other rim for less that you'd pay for for your bent rim to be repaired.

General rule is if it's cracked bin it, bent is repairable. As you drove on without a puncture, presumably, the wheel should be repairable.

One of mine has a slight ding on the inside rim, no noticeable affect, so left it. :-/

can be repaired..if necessary must be heated to a degree for repair (so repaint will be necessary also)
