Hi there, I am looking to possibly purchase some wheels, only issue is that one of them has a nasty kerb ding in it. It appears to be still keeping air, I am just not sure how it could be repaired or what the cost involved would be. Here is a pic of the damage:  Any thoughts? Are they safe to run with this kind of damage? Thanks. Rysz. |

I would happily drive on that, as long as it doesn't leak.

Done it numerous times on wheels I've bought in the past I do just that but only after ive heated the flatspot with a blowtorch for 5 mins deffo heat the are up first, especially as it is pretty cold at the mo. don't get it too hot, just warm enough that it is uncomfortable to touch. do it with the tyre on, it'll help when hammering the lip back |
