Just buggered an alloy.

Anyone know if it's repairable, if so does anyone have a contact number for someone that could fix it.

As you can see it's bent the lip a fair amount.

Thanks for any help.

Driftoroing? Hit up Joe dude or wikid wheels out my way sorted my dads out pretty well.

Lee has used wheel genie in huntingdon for a worse repair than that

Thanks lads. Iv send Lepsons an email aswell so hopefully I'll start getting some quotes.

Have now been told by wicked wheels AND lepsons that its unrepairable :(

how come? Ive seen worse than that repaired before. Is there further damage not visible to the eye?

yeah ive seen wheels bent to flip that have been straightened.

My guess if they just dont want the job.

so far only emailed pictures to the companies, maybe its time to go see them in person.

Are the cracks in the lacquer or the actual metal?

just the lacquer, already removed it from the bent area and all looks to be fine with the metal, and there is no deflation in the tyre.

I cant really see what the problem is then. the lip just needs welding and re-profiling

Had the wheel sent off to a company who today said it couldn't be repaired.

What are my options now? The only thing I can think of would be to get a new set of wheels.

I think it was something along the lines of it being dangerous to fix, apparently it's thin metal and will probably crack. Think that's what they said.

Seen some lovely concave BBS rc's in 8.5" and 10" that I fancy. Any BM wheels laying around Marty? Lol.

thats fair enough then i suppose dude. Just sell your 3 on ebay maybe get more as single wheels

As matty said keep an eye on ebay ,I managed to pick up a set of five alloys after the missis damaged one then sold the four for the same price happy days. But as the weather changes lots of people are after one wheel and willing to pay a fair bit for them

thanks mate, iv been searching through ebay today, but since owning the wheels iv only ever seen a single wheel the same once, doesnt leave much hope. Not too keen on selling or splitting the other 3 as they are literally mint. Almost bought a set of BBS RC wheels in 8.5 and 10" but decided to save the large amount of cash.
