[QUOTE="Porkchop, post: 1371946, member: 22923"] Aluminum rims that get deformed, at the same time work harden even more than when it was made. Each time the wheel gets a ding, a flat spot or bent, it gets even harder. The flat spot is wider than the rest of the rim & can be pressed back into shape once or twice, but if the repair is near the weld it will crack. Aluminum is easily annealed (softened) but then the heat treatment/artificial aging will be compromised. After the second repair, it's time for a new rim. Keep it round,good luck,Porkchop... [/QUOTE]
