got a guy at Walmart to hammer it back for free. The tire got a bulge gonna probably get a new tire soon but going to go take it for a test run

i wouldnt drive on that if you paid me.. but thats just me.. just dont come back and say you wrecked the car cuz the rim cracked/broke or the tire blew out

and also bent rims can tear the tire from the inside, improper balancing can cause the bead in the tire to break and itll last 500 miles before you have to buy a new tire again.

Lol, I didn't really want to drive on that rim but I was not able to find anybody that had one in stock. I had to order one from a Toyota dealer and that took 3 days. I now have a new OEM rim and tire.

It may look fine but aluminium alloy work hardens and there will be internal cracks which mean weakness. The question is what price do you put on your neck? I can only advise, buy a new wheel, they are very cheap when compared to a broken neck!
