| i would straighten it and put it back on the car temporarily and ORDER A NEW RIM FROM HRE. DO NOT DRIVE NSX WITH THAT RIM FOR VERY LONG. aluminum tends to fail spectacularly after it has been stressed that much; getting slammed on a curb and then pushed back into place is no good. ask me how i know. i have a rim that i retired after taking it to the hospital and having it X-rayed (hehe) and seeing that there were cracks growing in it (but not yet visible to the eye)--- a couple weeks later, it started to lose air on a weekly basis, then every couple days, then daily....i received the new rim just as the old one was fizzing out. the crack that appeared on the Xray had grown out to the lip, and had i kept driving on it, it would've split from the lip back into the spokes.
i wouldn't chance it. my mother cold works metals, so word. |
