the guy i bought the maverick from called me the other day and said that i forgot some parts at his house so i went over to find out what he was talking about. and he gave me a set of 14x7 origonal mag 500 rims and they have the little maverick emblem in the middle. but one of the rims has a little dent near the top of the rim is the anything i can do about this?
fix-em If you check around some of the tire shops in your area, they should know of a co. that can fix that rim. I had checked a few years back, and it seems the cost was $50 or so to fix a bent rim (a big bent...pothole....wife....chromed alum....) so it should be realitively inexpensive to keep it orig. post pics...Robert
p.s. If it is really small and doesn't break the bead or affect the handling, and not a show car, leave it and then you will have your first dent and not worry about getting the 1st one....
Any tire store should be able to fix it. I have taken really bent rims to a tire store, and they straighten them with no problems. How did they do it? They placed the wheel on the floor under a "car lift". They then lowered the lift down on the wheel and used the lift/floor as a "clamp" to hold the wheel. They then took a long piece of pipe with a slit cut in it and pryed on the bent area to fix it.
