Wonder if anyone has any information about repairing cast aluminium wheels? Mainly talking about flats around the edge of the rim, caused by driving over a curb say.
I suppose a lot depends on what any particular wheel is made out of, and whether or not it was heat treated in some way during its manufacture.
Would it be viable to make some sort of hydraulic press, with suitable dies, so that you could warm up the damaged part of a rim, and slowly press it back into its former shape?
Any advce and help would be very much appreciated, remove nospam to reply direct (I am in the UK by the way).
