if a rims has a slight bend in it will it still hold air? I would load a pic of the rim but don't know how to. it is only a small dent but would like others who may have had a similar experience to offer their advice. thanks
hugs and hand pounds, peace
depends. my old rims, i hit a manhole cover and blew out both my tires. well the one rim had a nice little nic/dent in the lip along the tire. i never had a problem w/ it. it didnt leak air or anything
if you go into my profile you will see a picture of the bend.
hugs and hand pounds, peace

That kinda looks like one of mine does now. I noticed it yesterday and haven't a clue when it might have happened so I'll be keeping a close eye on the pressure there for the next couple weeks to see if there's an issue.
I'll have to get it repaired eventually... but for now if it's not leaking or vibrating... I might as well leave it.
Pic not working.. but i have 2 dented rims lol, damn those curbs.. dont ask!! one of them is fairly bad.. well i thought it was, have been running both of em for 4+ months now and no leaking at all, everything seems fine.
Mine are just dented head on by the way.. not dented in from the side or anything.. not sure if thats what you meant.
