Can They Be Saved?

[bechopps]

Mounted a curb with reasonable speed the other night with enough force that i now have noticeable vibration from both left hand rims. With a buckled rim severe enough to be felt when driving , am i to assume that my rims are right offs or is there hope? The rims mentioned are 19inch one piece alloys.

Whats the verdict?

Post up a photo of the wheel for more details.

Cast wheels can be made round again. Don't know if I would ever want to drive on wheels that had a big enough hit to deform them though....cast alloy is not known for it's forgiving microstructure. Brittle as f**k.

NEW ONES!!

u can get them repared, butttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt the price that rims are these days and especially if they were shit id just say get new ones, save the hassle of trying to repair and repaint etc etc.

even though they will have been repaired, they have the possibility to have weak spots etc.

try to stay away from the curbs, thats were little children play

I had my XT7's repaired.... They come up pretty good.... BUT only do it if the rims are worth repairing.... I think it cost $150 to weld and machine 2 rims and then another $100 to sandblast them and then i coated them in black which was always the plan anyway... So yes it can be done, and do as JD32R says
