Can you get a buckle out of a alloy wheel ?

[Edd]

As title

Can this be done? Or is a wheel ruined once it has a buckle

Safely/reliable?

Who can do this?

Found a set of wheels but ones has a buckle :roll:

Depends on the damage Edd, I've seen some straightened up before but only with minor buckles

[Edd]

That was what I was thinking after posting lol

Wheels are in Stafford so not exactly near me ATM lol

[kevster]

as above it can be done if it's a small buckle .

i have had one done on one of my cars and it still gong strong

Stick in the freezer like an old BMX Mag lol
Nah some proper wheel refinishers should deal with minor buckles but banana's will be scrap lol

yeah you can repair them. if its bent in too bad dont bother, any cracks can be welded up but they warn of a slight risk.

2 years ago my missus hit a kerb in our focus, put a nice flat spot in it. took a big lump hammer to it, got it balanced and its still going strong after a bodge.

You can knock buckles out, Ive done it before with a propane torch an a leather mallet for minor flat spots.

I've had an alloy with a slight buckle on the rim making it not hold air.

Rubber Mallet and a couple well aimed whacks, tyre off, re-seal it and tyre back on. Job done, had it a few thousand more miles :)

In terms of what can be repaired, you should really be asking what will it cost. Anything, and i mean, anything, can be repaired with wheels.

There used to be one advertised on eBay that could repair huge buckles, massive chunks smashed off etc.
