Is this wheel fubared or repairable?

[Vish]

Was like it when I bought the car so I just swapped it with the spare and forgot about it.

Easily fixed? Car passed MOT with it on but was noted on MOT advisory as bent.

its fecked mate

seen far worse than that straightened

I've just noticed, in the picture, the whole wheel looks a bit squished as pic seems dodgy but it's just the bottom lip that is bent towards the centre of the wheel.

Hmmm, so best to ask around companies to see if it can be fixed then as it doesn't seem definite? Wanting to sell it but rather not if it'll be dangerous even once unbent.

ohh its its just that little bit. block of wood and a sledge hammer

Yeah mate, iPhone pic, arm in air while bending over so the wheel face didn't touch the ground, trying to focus and hold my hand still lol

block of wood and hammer a safe fix? sounds very Clarkson lol

it wont make wheel 100% but it will be alot better than it is, i know it sounds primative but it works

i have a old fella with a laguna on 17's im straightening out his wheels monthly lol

as mentioned mate just bash straight . then get it balanced

 

[Struggler]

could bending the same bit of metal on the wheel effectively twice (once when the damage was done)

not screw up the strength of the wheel??
making it more likely to buckle??

just a thought, really dont know whats what when it comes to wheels.

^ strength of the wheel was my main concern, but most of that bit of the depth of the rim is straight I think. Will see if I can get better pics tomo.

Will get my hammer out and see what I can do too!
