Damage to inner wheel rim.

Crossing a field last Sunday I hit a tree stump at less than 10 Mph and the car shuddered, on examining the underside observed that I hit the inside of the wheel and dented the rim.
Are there any garages that repair this sort of damage.
or is it easier to get a scrap one, or has anyone got one for sale?

hi there
this happen a lot. there use to be a photo on the site with a flat edge!
you can....
get a new (s/h) wheel.
get it refurb'd this might show up your other wheels, though.
hit it gently with a rubber malet. it would still need balanced afterwards.

Will not be going till next week, but will let you know how I get on.
