Restore Dented Steel Rims

[RanganaD]

Hi,

Are there any places to restore dented steel rims? What will be the better choice, repair the dented rim or replace it with a new one? And how much will it cost roughly?

Actually it is not an alloy wheel. It is a steel one. And I don't want to paint it but repair the bend.

Anyway thanks for the reply.

If your wheel is a generic rim (as per OP picture) from a popular car model, make (say corolla / toyota)

I've seen Toyota van rims go from Rs.2500 upwards

I feel it might be cheaper and safer to buy a used one, loads available due to wheel swaps etc, besides restoring this is going to cost you somewhat similar or more ( Prices vary with with place and person)

and the possibility depends on the degree of damage. Also do take a look at your suspension while you are at it, there's a possibility this blow damaged other components, you'll obviously have to do the wheel alignment.

Thank you very much. Yes, It is a Toyota Corolla 110. And there is a small vibration on the steering wheel after that. I think I better do a wheel alignment as you suggested.
