i have a little dent one of my wheels
can i fix it? it still holds pressure but im concern in the long run. so is there a shop that repairs the rim itself without the tire? kind of like bending it back to original or just balancing the whole wheels itself? i just need one wheel repaired, and i think its made of aluminum. its less then an inch. thanks
