bent lip on the rim
Hey guys, yesterday i hit a huge pothole and bent the lips on my deep dish bullits, both the front and the back. It's not a huge bend but it does look fixable, does anyone know if there's a way for me to fix this? Thanks in advance.

We did my friends by heating it up and using a body hammer on it, it took the dent out but it was still noticable, make sure you get it re balanced after tho, and put a rag on the hammer as not to scratch or chip your rim.

Beat the chit out of 'em.
You might end up buying new rims. If so, then the beat up wheels will make a nice coffee-table when you put a piece of tempered glass on top.
Maybe two end-tables?
Seriously, beat the $hit out of 'em.

The fix is simple and does not need complex tools.
Get a piece of 2x4 wood and cut a "D" shape in the front. Make sure its fresh wood btw.
Take the rim and cover it with a wet rag. Take a nice sledge hammer and beat the straight. Unmount the rims from the car while doing this. If you have patience it will bend back to normal, then take some polish and polish it up.
I did this to my buddy's grand am rims. The lip was bent. Fixed it up and it cant be seen.

That's what the lip looks like and it is on the front and back wheel. The idea for making it a coffee stand sure sounds like a good one if I end up buying new rims.
