Nicked Wheel bc of flat tire- ok to use?

[vinuneuro]

Two weeks ago, driving on the highway, one of the tires went flat due to something puncturing it. When the tire guys examined the wheel, there were two nicks/dents, a couple mm deep and maybe 1cm in diameter. One of them is in the middle of the width of the wheel, and the other is on the seam where the wheel bulges up a little. They suggested that the wheel be replaced. Is the integrity of the wheel compromised? I found a single wheel for $200, so if it needs to replaced it's fine...just don't want any wheel cracking/ air losing situations in the future.

Hard to tell without pics, but from the sounds of it, it seems that a replacement would be your safest bet. You can probably also get it repaired...

I would change the wheel. Same thing happend on our other car few months back and had to get new wheel and tire.
