The wheel repair professionals never beat anything with a hammer. They use hydraulic pressure. There are co's out there who will repair this wheel and it will be flawless but expect to pay $350-400 or more + shipping. Their expertise does not come cheap.

Forget rechroming..each chrome shop is different and the color won't match your other NOS wheels. </div></div>

never said I was a professional, this is a steel wheel not aluminum or magnesium nor is it badly damaged. How did it get bent in the first place, an impact? I suggested a simple fix for a minor problem
I've seen body men go after sheet metal with a hammer and it too survived
sorry all my life I have tried to be cost effective was just my .02c </div></div>
