43 views no responses.... I honestly don't know but i like the rims it looks good and you really can't see the bend. Good luck though.

I dont see why you wouldnt be able to. I would just be careful about cracking it, if you try and move it too much, or hit it too hard. Give it a couple whacks and see what happens.

Default rubber hammer

Force of impact + weight of car + small surface area to create the bend. Rubber hammer versus wheel, don't think it's gonna happen. Wheel shops use a special tool that looks like a 5 foot long crow bar to bend it back. Goodluck with the rubber hammer.

also, remember to inflate the tire before you try anything. I've seen a tire blow in a guys face. went the hospital for some crazy burn and cut marks on the face.
