Tony Barber @wim heads our rim repair department. Basically he cold presses the rims by using hydraulic rams...... I thought this wheel was beyond repair

Brilliant job, so that doesn't need to be stripped or anything? Just straighten it and back on the road? Fantastic stuff!

It takes a lote of force to cold press alloy.... If i'm honest then 1 in 5 don't make it.

Good job there, does it balance up ok without needing loads of additional weights?
