will this work?

will this hold a tire? the damage does not seem bad but...
OR can it be repaired?

I probably wouldn't trust it, myself. You may want to take it to a tire shop and see what they think. You can't get it any straighter with a rubber mallet?

i havent tried, i dont know if there was a way to fix it...

 

[X~FACTOR]

I've seen worse so I'm almost sure it'll hold. Is it safe? I don't know. Try hammering it back carefully. You don't want to crack it.

Doesn't look like the bead area of the rim is affected. Try a soft faced hammer to remove the ding but it shouldn't be unsafe.

the rims that were on out mustang were worse than that and they held air....but i would try and whack it back into place if this is going to be driven on everyday.

well i did file a claim with fed ex for denting it, but if it can be repaired that would be sweet as they have said they will send me a check to replace it. How much would one of these cost to replace new? if i got a new one i could use this for a spare...
they are factory 3 spoke chrome off of a 97 ex...cost me 410$ for all 4 shipped, and they look brand new except for the dented one. these will look sweet on my 94...
heres the rims...

I beleive those a steel wheels, if so you'll have no problems banging it back out though it looks like it'll hold air as it is.

 

[Bronco638]

If FedEx is going to pay to replace it, that wheel would make a great spare.

how big of a tire can fit in factory spare location? will a 30 or 31 fir there?
