- Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:31 pm #101276 So i'm a little pissed right now, i've been polishing my wheels the past couple days, just taking my time, I go to do the 4th one tonight only to find this... which i was uninformed of by the previous owner :x

Image

Now the wheel has been sitting out there for 3 months now and it's still full of air, but i'm wondering what will happen once the weight of a car gets put on it, i'm wondering if i should try to hammer it out with a rubber mallet or find a place to fix it locally

Any suggestions?

Thats nothing major, a wheel refurb place could easily fix that - understand why you're annoyed but definetaly nothing to worry about!
