Lip/arch roller - possibly home made, but looks effective.
Bolts to the wheel hub to achieve the right radius travel.

Maybe im missing the angle, haha
But how is a roller going to repair a mashed up lip ?
I have managed to get the wheel arch back to roughly were it should be, but the lip looks like a crinkily chip, and no matter what i do, it stilll
does !

Think the easiest way would be to use a panel beaters hammer set and either a utility dolly or heal dolly.

You stick it on the hub and roll the lip back to the correct raduis by going backwards and forwards whilst increasing the pressure on the roller after
every other pass.
