This is my wheel that was damaged last night. I dont think its bent the actual rim, just the outside that looks nice. Ive looked on the inside of the rim and its not bent etc where the white bit is and the tyre seem to be sitting ok.
Was thinking of getting a new tyre slapped on and then get it sorted when i get all me tyres refurbed anyway

Tyre needs to go, difficult one with the wheel. A decent refurb place will tell you.
