Them rims you gave away ended up with me ...... i had to pay for them though and take the dent out

I just used a block of wood and a Mallet and then sanded it back ..... in all fairness it wasn't to big of a bulge . If its quite bad , speak to Steve (animal) on here as he has a tool for sorting this out

He has done some pro class for me that i thought were beyond repair .... when they came back they were spot on

Have a look in the tech & resto section - there is a sticky about Steve Animal's jig for sorting this kind of thing out.

I had in a few years ago and it works a treat but it only removes localised flats or dents, not a completely "egg" shape which you will need a professional wheel dolly for I'm pretty sure.

Pics would help
