Wow what did you hit? I've run my ce28's across some potholes that just about rattled my brain out through my *** and didn't even come close to bending them.

I was about to say, it this were a Rota wheel, this thread would go for days. Not that I'm a fan of rotas, but any wheel can crack/bend.

You may be able to fix it, but with that type of damage, I think you're better off getting a new wheel.

Actually, the close-up seems bad, but in the other two pics, it does look repairable.

I wouldn't take my chances fixing it. It's $800 or so for a new wheel vs. your safety on a repaired one. Not a question in my opinion. Curb rash is one thing, major structural failure is another.

Hey, you just won a free table!


Make sure to use a glass tabletop so you can show off how much of a baller you are

DONESO! This wheel will never be the same. paperweight. I would ask Mackin for some
help. I believe you wrecked the front end of your car to accomplish this...

If that happened to my wheels I think I would just cry and call it a day....


Then after a day of tears, I would call and order a new wheel

You should definitely ask a shop... You can even just email the pics to a shop. Don't lose that centercap though, because they're now discontinued... Sucks for me since I lost one

I agree!.... But you would be extemely lucky to find a new wheel.

I don't even think I would attempt to fix something that badly damaged! OUCH

Sorry man... I wish you the best of luck. They are a Rare expensive wheel.. I take great care with mine.
