Car hit a pothole. The rim has been replaced with a new one. Is the dented
one worth anything other than scrap metal value? Can these be straightened?

Thanks,
Mike

Most Alloy rims can be repaired. Depending on the damage it generally runs
about $100 and they come back looking like new.

if the pot hole you hit cracked the alloy, the wheel is worth it's weight in
scrap aluminum.
Otherwise it may be repaired

It's not cracked so maybe it's worth $20 to someone? Local Craigslist maybe?

I'd investigate the price of scrap aluminum, it may be worth more that 20
bucks
