Wheel Repair?

[joffa1]

Hi guys,

 

due to some idiot not securing his load I hit what I think was a block of red gum possibly a brick on the highway the other day,  regardless it’s done some damage to my rim. 

 

My question is, is it possible to “re-round” the rim? As you’ll see in the pic it is way out as it is now.

 

I’m hoping there is a repair option as looking on gumtree these rims go for over $300 for a second hand one in only ok condition. 

 

Thanks for any help.

Ball pein hammer and oxy or mapp gass and she'll be right.

Ok cheers. No point making insurance claim as can get a replacement wheel cheaper than excess amount.

 

I’ll have a google search but mostly comes up with joints that do gutter rash repair and re painting etc. if they can’t do it guess they’ll know someone who can though. 

 

If anyone can recommend a place in inner or outer east of Melbourne that would be great too? 

 

Thanks for your help.

Much google.

 

So wow. 

 

Remember when google was crap and the answers were average and non relevant and your search had to be specific as feck.

I remember when google was less popular than altavista... then it soon smashed everything out of the water with it's simpler and more helpful algorithms... now everybody hates the algorithms haha
