Title: Alloy Wheel Repair
Post by Oliver on Mar 26th, 2006, 11:34pm
I have an alloy wheel which has been kerbed and slightly bent (not by me!).  I seem to recall someone on the list getting wheels refurbished but I'm not sure if they had them straightened too.  Any recommendations please.  :)

It would probably be cheaper to buy one off Ebay or a breakers....if you can find one.

Probably true although I was considering getting another wheel that's a bit scuffed resprayed at the same time.  It would be interesting to find out what it would cost though.

I once bought a set four, 12 spoke chrome alloys (no 225 tyres) off of ebay for £90 about 3 years ago. So a single wheel shouldn't be anymore than £30 in good nick, £50 max for a real good one.

D'oh! I knew I read about it somewhere.  I forgot it was here on the forum.

If I can't find anyone local I'll give the guys in Glasgow a call.

The trouble with buying more off ebay is that you don't know if they are straight until you get them on the car or to the tyre fitter.
