Buckled alloy

[beng-120]

Just taken one of my alloys off to start refurbing them, flipped it over to clean the inside of it only to discover a whacking great buckle on the back of the rim. Will this cause any issues with getting new tyres fitted? About 3 inches of the back of the rim is flattened out but the tyre sits fine. Any recommendations?

take it over to Pristine wheels in woburn sands to see if it can be fixed

Don't think its worth fixing on a standard non sport alloy. Gonna have a look at the other 3 and see if any are damaged, if so then it might be a perfect excuse to get some turinis.

Anyone else?

You got a pic of the damage?

That's just one, not fully checked the others yet but one other looks worse

Help anyone?

If I were in your situation I'd get it fixed.

Oh wait.... :dapprove:

tbh if its holding pressure ok and balances up fine i'd just fit it to the rear. yeh its buckled but its not an excessive unless the wheel doesnt run true
