Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Pipps - 31-10-2012 I have the opportunity to buy a set of second-hand alloy wheels. One of them has two small dents on the inside of the rim: Would you buy them in this condition? Will the dents be a problem? RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - cully - 31-10-2012 if they were cheap enough yes id have ago at beating the dent out if they were the alloys i really wanted if i failed id sell the tyres on and scrap the alloys to get my money back RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - puglove - 31-10-2012 That rim is pretty bad tbh as cully said though you could have a go at beating it out. If not you could try and biy a single to replace it RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - cully - 31-10-2012 Ive straightened worse lump hammer and a block of wood leave the tyre on as it helps not to over stress the rim be warned though the alloy will become porous if you work is to much, leading to slow punctures RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - C2K - 31-10-2012 Wouldn't even bother knocking it out unless it affects the seating of the tyre. Looks fine. RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Pipps - 31-10-2012 Thanks for the advice, guys RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Connor - 31-10-2012 Nowt wrong with that, I've balanced worse lol RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Tallguy_2 - 04-11-2012 There are plenty of companies now that specialise in straightening alloy wheels that are cheap enough RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - HDIkyle - 04-11-2012 I have balanced far worse than that that's a very mild dent TBH Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Sambarker - 04-11-2012 If put the two bent wheels on the back i dare say you wouldn't even notice RE: Would you buy this dented alloy wheel? - Toms306 - 04-11-2012 Would I buy it? No. Should you buy it? Yeah why not. Depending how bad the dent is though, you can feel it on the back, I had a dented wheel with no wieghts at all on the back once (was a swallow btw) and could feel it shaking the whole car! Not a problem, I just sold it on another car.
