Is it possible to have a bent steel rim straightened?
Any one know of a place in Brisbane?
Photo's would help
why, if its a bog standard rim they are a dime a dozen so just get anothery
Pauly , wide 5 rims are not that easy to find anymore , ones that you would use anyway
really? I'm sure if the word was put out there they would appear out of the wood work..
I think race engineering. Can be a little expensive, but does good work.

I have used these guys http://www.depuluwheels.com ( it was a longtime ago )
Thanks for the reply's guy's.
It's actually for the HQ.
Years ago one of my Dad's workers hit a gutter.
We sourced a replacement back then from a later model, which has only been the spare.
Apparently 1- tonner standard rims are different to sedans/wagons/ utes.
They are hard to find.
I'm hopefully doing a abit of preservation work on it next year,.. and I like to go down the route of repair rather than replace.
Especially if it was original to the car.
not VW.. get the gun, matches and petrol.. time to sacrifice rust on bent rims 
^^^ actually it's a very nice og paint 1 ton work ute, if there were no VW's built, wouldn't be a bad ute.
^ get the soap while you're at it

AUSTIN.....there is no help dude!!!
I have fixed many bent steel rims with a hammer and home made drift. Easy.
I had a near new Golf 2 GTI bent rim that I took to a tyre service and he fixed it for free and I couldn't see where the damage had been. It took him
about 5 minutes.
vice grips work too
