Cheaper to buy another wheel....even if it does come from the US.

Don't do it yourself or the wheel may become weak and collapse.
When they do it properly the whole wheel has to be heated and then pressed out slowly and then cooled.

Has anyone attempted to knock out a ding on a rear wheel mag. The rim hit a pothole or kerb in its former life. Only a few millimetres out. Thought about Matgas and knocking out with some energy obsorbing wood and a mallet has anyone had some experience as the cost of repair is around $200 abit much for me Coops
