Tiny wheel dent. Replace or not?
Hey guys, last year I hit a rock on a canyon and now when I replaced tires noticed this small ding on the rim. Never ever noticed a wobble before but the tire guys said theres a small chance I might soon. Wondering what you guys think and if I should replace. Attached pic.

The tire shop should be able to check wobble on their balancing machine.

They said before they balanced it had a bit of a wobble. But it balanced really easily and is just fine rn so they said it is just a cosmetic issue for now. But they said to keep an eye on it if I get a wobble or I lose tire pressure. Been driving on this for a year no issues tho just noticed it while getting new tires lol

There are companies that repair wheels. Many have mobile services. You might see if they can take the dent out. Over the years I've bent a couple of wheels and had them fixed without having to purchase a new wheel.

Good thing it's a forged wheel. That might've cracked a cast or rotary forged wheel.
