How to get dents out of wheel rims?
Does anyone one know what the procedure is to remove dents from a spoked wheel rim (dirtbike style rim)?I have heard that it is possible to put the rim in a vice and remove it that way, but I thought I would go for a second opinion on this one.

I've had good results with a hydraulic press

Hydraulic press, big hammer we have tried them all, but will it pass the MOT, if not contact us at sales@cwylde.co.uk we have been wheelbuilding for 60 years (not me personally!)and the only true way is a new rim.
