Dented steel rims

[Eoynteenie]

I have a dented Steel rim in my bedroom and one on the car..and maybe a third cause the off rear side has gone flat as well >.<

but does anyone have any idea how to repair them

I only have the common GTL steels

Also how wide are the Fergats steel rims?

There may be cries of don't do that but I just hammered mine back into shape - still going strong today

Item to note however is that the leaking air is probably just because the tyre has been disturbed on the rim. If you fully deflate it and push it off the rim clean it of rust and rubbish then put it back on it will probably be fine (unless its punctured of course)

as long as it's not buckled, I second the hammer option, the bead sits in the channel anyway so the outer section does relatively little

nah, the rims are just so rusty that they leak, i've gone for a lot of tyres and tyre fitters tuting at me and then breaking out the elbow grease and saying how nice it is to see theses cars again, how much do i want for it.

But i have a plan, the blaster at work says he'll sand blast them and then another mate knows some one that can do powder coating and 'fingers crossed' they should be back

But the two rims that at dented annoy me.
