Kiadaw 6th Gear April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 Don't think can do much. Since its Aluminium presumingly, cannot easily (if at all) weld also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotshot85 4th Gear April 11, 2013 Share April 11, 2013 If you're very sure that you were the only one driving the car, and 100% sure you didnt kenna kerb at all, I can only surmise one possibility. Someone was cycling right next to your car and the pedal knocked onto the rim. That's all I can think of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsr729 1st Gear April 14, 2013 Share April 14, 2013 Got once my tyre punctured due to a nail and there's a small hole in the parking lot. Usually will do a visual check before moving off, but that morning was in a rush. The moment I moved off from the lot, the wheel went into the hole and my rim got a deep scratch from the concrete tiles but not a dent like TS's. Heart pain but moved on after a while la. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
