    Smile Bent Rim

    Anybody have any suggestions on how to straighten a Weld rim I rock dinged pre-running this weekend?

    Re: Bent Rim

    Is it one of the newer one-piece forged wheels or is it one of their older 'forged' wheels that had a forged center-section and a cast outer shell? If it's forged there are lots of places that could fix it for you, but if it's cast I think you're hosed.

    Re: Bent Rim

    Could I sucessfully beat it back with a plastic sledge or something similar ? Its just one rock ding, about 1.5 inches across at the edge of the rim.
