I got the same thing i notice when i turn corners you can feel it from stalling out circles and smashing the rim. Dont think there is anyway to fix it. :nono

i would just try to find another wheel. trying to beat it with a mallet you might just end up with more damage than you started with :2cents

Good idea.. dont heat it too much.. and dont do it too often

Aluminum turns out to be weak when its heated up alot and often!!!

But try it.. if it works it works.. if it doesnt.. FUCK IT and jus ebay a new one.. if your gonna hit the streets and twistys dont even think about it

jus replace it !

I beat the shit out of mine with a 2x4 and a hammer i could fit my fist through the side broke the bead and everything.

just beat it. then filled it up not to bad but when its at 40mph theres a vibration just not too bad but i have damper which helps out alot lol
