Pretty sweet

I love Drive on youtube and Drive Clean is quickly becoming one of my go-to shows (that and Chris Harris of course.)

This episode gives a very quick look into how rims are tested, repaired, etc and gives you an idea of how a professional wheel shop will measure and recommend wheels for you car.

There are alot of useful information on the video relating to wheels. However, the only thing that we may slightly disagree on is a wheels ability to be repaired. If there are severe structural issues with the wheels, it is not advisable to have them bent back or welded into shape regardless of taking it back to oem specs. The reason being that heating the barrel usually realigns aluminum structure and poses the possibility of the weakening the wheel. Of course this is usually a case by case scenario which needs to be determined by the professional. Just thought to throw this information to add upon the video.
