Default Are bent rims fixable? (more)

The ding is on the inside of the wheel, about 1/2 inch deep.<p>The overall integrity of the wheel seems ok.<p>Is a wheel/tire shop able to hammer it flat again?<p>

I would NOT bring it down to a local Larry, Moe, and Curly tire store. From what I know, I think these wheels are cast, and therefore any force will crack them. Would recommend a pro.<p>"Autoweek" has a few wheel repair shops; would recommend trying them.<p>Ye Old Wheel Shop 1-800-526-8260 (MD)<br>Rim & Wheel Works 1-800-261-0495 (MA)<br>Precision Wheel Service 1-800-FIX-BEND (CT)
