These are my old wheels but I am thinking about giving them to the mrs but one of them is buckled. Do you think it is repairable. The tyre would need to be replaced anyway as the tread is low
Thanks

Could be, but i dont think it should be if you know what i mean! When the alloy is bent like that it needs to be heated up then knocked back and re-finished. The problem lies in that it weakens the alloy, meaning that the chunk thats been worked on could crack at any time

You could repair it so cosmetically it would be fine. But the metal fatigue in the material would be too great for it to be roadworthy...
