hi, got some spare alloys free with my corsa, but when I cleaned them found a big dint on the inside of the wheel, can it be pulled out?

They can be refurbed if you like.
A inspection would indicate if they were safe to repair or not.

Automotion and Spray force both do Refurbs,
i guess you would have to take it
to them to see if it can be done.

i had a look before and its slightly buckled, hes only going to be using them for a short while until he saves up and gets some other alloys, i might take it down to sprayforce for him and see if it can be sorted

Wouldnt like to say.

As there is always a risk of it cracking
when being re shaped so i believe.

Saying that i have seen worse repaired.

Good luck.

Some company's claim to be able to repair them but in my kmowledge they always damage or crack when you attempt to bend them back smack

I know a mate who as done it before but i wouldn't suggest doin this coz its well doggy, heat the wheel up and hit it with ahammer. me mate did it and put the wheel on the back of his car.

If the wheel is ok, ie, tyre seals on the bead ok, there are no vibrations and it balances up ok, I wouldnt worry about it (if its temporary).

If it doesnt seal on the bead, junk the wheel, if it wont balance or gives a vibration and you cant live with it - junk the wheel.
