Thanks for watching this Mark's reviews and Tutorials video. Mark is not a trained mechanic. Just a car guy that loves to drive and work on cars.

Cars are complex and dangerous things and not only can you be hurt working on them but you can also do serious and expensive damage to your car.
Cars should be worked on by qualified people, don't over reach.
Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.
People when you’re driving your car be very careful with rims. That’s not a little bit of damage that’s gonna cost some money at the tire shop Watch those potholes Can you dig it
Good to know thanks my brother hot a curb and bent a rim we are fixing it thats it.
I've been driving on a bent and cracked rim for 6 months and only have a slight vibration. It's not a big deal.
Is it the same if it’s chipped?

I still drive on 1 wheel which was bent to hell and back because drunk 16 year old me though he could drift a E46 320i... and hit a curb sideways
It looks quite bad, but its bent on the outside lip only,
So what i've figured out is with some negative camber and a rubber hammer to make it somewhat straight, i can get it to ride on the inner half of the tire, causing 95% or the vibrations to go away...
Theres still a little bit due to it being slightly uneven in weight
but its good enough
this was me today with my 2000 stang gt, looking for fixes now bro
Take it to a professional rim repair shop. They can do amazing things.
That's funny what you just said about the end of the day quick repair on your tire I left mine at a service station all day and they still didn't get to mine until the end of the day and they did pretty much the same thing you just said crack me up so yeah I'm a bit disappointed in that place and now I'm looking for somewhere to get my fix at the moment .
I have the same bent at @1:54 so you are saying it is still ok to drive for the mean time but for safety just go to a tire shop and fix it? Thank you!
Seems to me Mag wheels are not the best material for road cars. Aluminum is still best.
I have the same bend as the 5:04 stamp, will this be dangerous to keep driving with ?
The only way to answer that is for a professional to see it and touch it. Take it to a tire or rim shop and get them to inspect it.
If the rim is of good quality then small deviations can be repaired.
Will a bent rim I mean very slight cause passenger seat to vibrate. I moved the bent wheel to the rear passenger side. Bought 4 brand new tires.
Derek A Hi there. Yes it can especially if the wheel is no longer round.
When the new tire is fitted get them to check if the wheel is still round. Also when they balance the wheel they will know if it is ok or not.
I have a Jaguar with an out of round wheel that vibrates slightly. If I get it repaired, will the vibration go away?
Thank your good video.
