alloy wheel straightening

[prawny1]

I bought a wheel for a project bike but it has come with a few curb dents in the edge of the rim, you know flat spots where someone has bumped up a curb or hit a big pothole with low tyre pressure.

Does anyone know of a wheel place in Birmingham/ midlands that will straighten this sort or damage?

Two of them are only shallow so probably has not bent more than the edge but one you can see has distorted the main part of the rimn (the bit you would stick balance weights to.

I've heard Dave East in Enderby, Leicestershire is really good.

His prices for a crank split/rebuild were good, but no idea what his prices for wheels are. The wheel repairs are how he made a name for himself though.

cheers I will give him a call tomorrow,

The rim was only £30 and £18 p+p, they seem to go for around £70 normally so not a lot of room before it's cheaper to send this one back and buy another one.

Send it back if it was not sold as described. What bike?

I would not trust wheel repairs.
