OZ, for the most part is a cast/heat treated rim, so no worries, just remember to re heat treat it after the work is done… You can’t repair a forged wheel due to the way the molecular structure is created/aligned during forging process… to try and repair it means that you are changing the base molecular structure of that area and the surrounding area… and you can’t fix that.
