1 How malleable are the K100 wheels? Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:06 am

A little while ago, my front tyre was loosing air...pump it up and it's flat a week later. I believe this happened after hitting a pot hole. Not difficult at all with our crappy roads around here. There was no noticeable imbalance after hitting the pothole.
The tyre shop said that there was an area on the wheel where the tyre wasn't sealing, due to hitting the pot hole and he stuck in a tube.
Question is: can I "loving hit" (bash) the wheel sufficiently so the tyre seals against the rim as before?
