[Shop-talk] alloY wheel repair

[Tim .]

FFS...."allow".....my bad for not proofing my post. sorry

I am not sure what scrubbing the inside of the wheel will do other than clean it. The "bent" part is on the inside.....thought that was obvious from the pic.

"Usually, the damage is tigged-up, then ground to shape." Not sure why welding would be needed. It's a very slight bend.

The bend is so slight I hope to hear/read that it is not enough to worry about.

More thoughts please................

My wife's DD has two wheels that have ever so slight damage. One pic attached.

One: does this look like it is bad enough it needs to be dealt with? (the other wheel is just about the same)
Two: I have a guy who says he can do the work (he was working at a production body shop my company deals with) and says he can do it without taking the tyres off. Does not taking the tyres off sound right?

Thanks guys

Shop content...I pulled the wheel off the boss's car to get the pic in my shop?
