Damaged alloy; 160SR!

[K11SS]

My dad went over a big pot hole and damaged my alloy, it has 3 "flat" spots causing air to leak from it.

Question is, can they be straightened out and what would I google to find a place to do this? It's not bad either just prefer to fix it before I put it back on the road!

Thanks Pepper

I think small dints can be pulled out but anything more is pretty much a binned wheel.

I'll try post pics of the wheel, there are 3 flat spots on 1 wheel so I don't know what any others Are like! I might refurb all 4 wheels, save time and hassle!

Ouch, on a side note how do you find the 195/45s as opposed to the standard size?

They need to go on a straightening machine as you said, I got quoted £70 when mine was like that.

Was that £70 for 1 wheel?

The size difference was pretty good, I liked the 195/45/R16 from my 1st K11! BUT I aint driven my k12 in like a year now due to my dad having it!
