Hey all, can a rim with this sort of damage be repaired? Anyone recommend somewhere SOR if it can?
The tyre deflated slowly if it helps.
Cheers

I believe it can be. My boss's daughter (sorry no pics) smashed a kerb and had damage that looked a lot worse than that and they were able to repair it and balance it fine.

just blow it up to 65 PSI and beat it with a mallet..... a lead one is best
Bit it with a heavy rubber mallet UNINFLATED,
the inflate to normal and check for leaks, resume hitting until it stops leaking.
Fixed countless steel rims like this.

Thanks, will give it a go with the mallet and see what happens.
