damaged rim (can this be repaired)

[will.clio!]

Just noticed today as i walked past the car a dent in the rim, not sure how iv done this as i haven't hit any kerbs, so i'm thinking maybe a pothole hidden in the snow.

well heres a pic.

just wanted to know if this could be repaired or not and if it could and idea how much this will cost. I don't think the tyre is loosing any air either.

cheers Will

I aint a mechanic but to tell you the truth i wouldnt even bother faffing with something so small ... However if you just want it to look good, and not be able to see that lil dent then just take a block of wood and a hammer. Give it a few good smacks and'll be ok.

Sounds kinda barbaric i know, but it really is just that simple (the way i see it).

I'd say yes it can. I've seen 10x worse damages on rims that have been repaired. Our place uses a company called perfection alloys, they do some pretty good work.

This man speaks sense.
