I have bent three wheels on the inside. Also most OEM wheels have no lip which makes the outside stronger than the inside and causes the insides to bend easier.

The wheel dudes wont work on the outside cause their repairs usually arent pretty. I say this from expirience.

Try some heat and a heavy rubber mallet yourself it looks like it could bang out just fine

Albany Speed is setting me up with a dude that fixes wheels because my rear two wheels are bent on the inside. I’ll let you know how I make out but I won’t know until after the holidays. Also, I don’t have any contact information other than Albany Speed. I’ll try to get a number for you if you don’t mind waiting.

I know he had a shop in Albany too. Maybe that one is still open or they moved?
