Is This Rim Repairable ?
 
Hi guys, I' ve clipped a curb in my car a couple days ago and unfortunately buckled my rim, I plan on taking it to a rim repairer for assessment but that won't be till midweek so in the meantime I thought I would get your opinion, I know these aren't the most expensive rims so if worse comes to worse ill just replace it with a new one but thought I would first get some opinions, cheers

Yes but by a professional or it may crack.. It is a shame to see but it is the risk you take with big diam wheels. This is why you often see sets of 3 for sale on ebay...Chinese are not known for there good quality alloy so it may happen again..Gen wheels are Japanese and far better quality..

Cheers for the replys, I honestly wasn't going fast at all when I hit it, the damage surprised me, it was a box curb though, if the cost to repair is close to a new replacement I will certainly just replace it

Good choice mate

Price up a new one first. I'd almost put money on a new one being cheaper.

Last time I had a Enkei fixed at Alliance it was $350. $450 for harder colours such as Shadow Chrome.

good excuse to buy a new set of wheels completely

Most definitely fixable.
