Repairable? Or scrap?

[Hay Dude]

I wouldn’t think so, but not up on aluminum wheels and wheel repairing.
My well meaning, helpful so had a mishap with a roadside rock-outcropping.

I don't think that is repairible, my vote is scrap.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Probably scrap. You might find a shop that can straighten it, but it will never be right.... meaning balance and a 'true' rotation.

It's a firepit now not a wheeel.

 

[ArtMech]

I'd say repairable, since I know a man who specializes in wheel repair near by me, has perfect equipment. He's living just about 7 time zones from you.

 

[Thomas]

Scrape or make wall hanger.

Wow if it did that to the wheel how did the tire fare?

 

[SmallChange]

And what'd it sound like?

I like the way you incorporated the Playboy bunny in the photo.

The tire is alive & well and back on the truck. I know-I can’t believe it, either. I inspected the inside and out of the tire with a tire “expert”. Says it’s fine.
The new rim was $1,400- which promptly blew HD’s mind.

I don’t know. My son was driving. I was ahead of him driving my Magnum pulling a baler.

He must have gotten thrashed a bit when he hit.

 

[Hay Dude]

Not at all. I have never laid a hand on anyone in my family in anger.
He was immediately remorseful and offered to pay the damages.
I made him pay 1/2.

He’s the best son I could wish for. Daughter is same way.

I was referring to when he hit whatever he hit... that was no pebble. It must have thrown the truck a bit.

Figured that.

Said he felt a bump. I was like “un huh”….

If that’s all your son costs you, consider yourself lucky.

$1400 Yikes.

At that price I would try and have it repaired, if you can't find a Good used replacement.

Is that off of IIRC a 5500 Ram?
Didn't realize they went up from 8 lug to 10 above the 1 tons?

I know, right. I was thinking $500.
Its already been replaced. Yes, Ram 5500.
