I posted pics of my bent HX wheel a while back:
I determined that the rim isn't bent, just the lip (which is pretty bad, but drivable). I want to straghten it out before I put my new tires on, and if I have time before the autocross on saturday strip and paint the wheels. I was thinking about banging it out, or maybe even trying to heat it and then bang on it, but I don't know what will happen with cast aluminium. Anybody have any ideas?
