    Question Is my wheel damaged badly?

    So I recently bought this set of style 5s and on one of them, there is like a golf ball imprint and I don’t know if I should get the wheel repaired before I mount tires or just leave it, I assume it holds air just fine, it is not on the lip, it in the middle of the barrel.

    That wheel took a very big hit on something less sharp than what I hit. I'd send it for refurbishing and get an opinion from a pro before I'd trust it.

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
