240D, piece of concrete dented hubcap

Driving down Bay Area Blvd. in Houston when car next lane hits a football-size piece of concrete which richochets to my drivers wheel cover and WHAM, big dent. Took it off, hit it three times with a rubber mallet on the inside, and NO DENT! Dang I love these old benz's.
