I recently purchased a set of ITP T9s, and I was ***** to the wall around a turn, power sliding and banged the lip in a little against something, I didn't lose any air in the tire, but my question is can I ride it like that? Can I have this repaired? Its only the lip bent in. And if so how much should it cost?

 

Ouch that sucks..Thats why I wont pull the trigger and get the lighter alloy rims,the steel ones on my wolverine take a beating in the ruts and rocks..As per getting it repaired,I'm sure a tire place can do it,depending on how bad it is..

 

Alloy does bend but if you attempt to straighten it be very careful because it is brittle and could just break instead of bending back.
This is one reason why I stay with steel.

 

Yet another reason to stay with Steel! Because with the riding I do.. I will never buy Alloy wheels - Steel Stockers for me!

 

doesnt the kodiak come stock with alum. rims? the wolvey does and its basicly the same thing

 

Nope.. Kodiak/Grizz 450's come stock with cheapo Steels [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

2006 and 2007 Wolvy 450s have aluim wheels and i bent the inner lip on mine and was able to bang it back out with a rubber mallet.

May be 'cheapo' but it still is the best way to go, good ol' heavy steel rims and heavy tires... Why do you suppose they put liquid in tractor tires? Maybe it has something to do with traction, sinking the tire down through the mud for more solid ground... HELLO!!! I think I smell roses....

 

I like my cheapo.. what I meant by cheap is fixable and not expensive like the Alloy's

 

i really like having steel rims. my aluminum ones get banged up so much easier then the rims on my old magnum, i think i'm gunna buy a set when i get some more money after buying a pipe. i wonder if i can find rims in the stock size, probably, right? i wanna keep them 10x12 and 8x12 tires
