im in croydon. its not really bad i mean it could be a lot worse. its just kinda made a flat area about 3/4 of the way round the edge of the rim.
the worst part is obviously the point of impact and the rest is more or lest just scrapage. |

Dallas, send me a pic of the rim if you can,
if its just a "ding" on the outter of the rim, you can stick it on the back. I use to have a ding on my old CSA mags and it was fine on the back. just the front use to vibrate
