Help with some rim repair???
 
I have some old school ENKEI APACHE-V rims that came with my new '79 1st gen. 3 of 4 rims are perfect, but 1 has a couple small dents from a curb i imagine. I was wondering if anyone knows any tricks to repair at home? Do I need heat? I'm afraid of cracking them or something by trying to bend them back. Or making them worse. It looks like a tire would probably seal fine on them, with a wobble while driving. Lol. Im located in northern cali if there are any good shops that could help. Anyways, thank you, and I'm glad to be back in the rotary family. I was without for about 10 years since my last 1st gen 7.

Congrats on the new 7 and nice set of Enkei's. I've had a few rims repaired by Edgar at West Coast Wheel Repair in Fremont. Friendly service and very reasonable rates. GL :)

Awesome. Thank you so much. I will keep him in mind if I end up in over my head on trying to fix myself :)
