    Default will it hold air?

    so...loooong crazy hazy story short...i hit a curb last yr in the rain in the dark no windsheild wipers.. blew my tire and "bent" my SI rim

    it is a prelude SI rim for the 4th gen

    now ive had 1 person tell me it WONT hold air...but i need more opinions...i kno this pic isnt that clear...but but there's not much more to it than what is displayed infront of you

    will this wheel allow the tire to hold air?

    Not ideal, And I say this only so you can get going, mount a tire and use a rubber mallet to hit the area if it leaks!! Or a 2x4 and regular hammer!!

    Rim repair cost is about 75buks..

    yea...i can also buy another Si rim for half of that price... and trash this one...

    i did hit it with a rubber mallet and then a hammer...and i can say these rims are made from a tough composite cuz it didnt even budge...but did leave marks..as u can see...

    thanks man

    Yeah, grab another rim... It may not even balance out, meaning it would shake the whole dang car going down the road!! LOL

    If you want to bring it by, we can mount your tire on it and test if it will balance correctly and hold air for $10. That is the only way you will find out.
