Alloy wheel repair

[J766--]

So, this happened:





Anybody know of a good Alloy Wheel Repair place that may stand a chance of fixing it?

Thanks in advance,

*A rather unhappy* Tom.

pristinewheels are supposed to be one of the best, but how the hell did you manage that?

Managed to lose the back end on a waterlogged roundabout. Amazingly only doing 20-25mph too. Overcorrected and wound up knocking the front on the 18 inch tall kerb :/

I guess it's a byproduct of running lips and stretched tyres? The lip took the full brunt, as opposed to a normal wheel/tyre combo which would probably have just been kerbed to fook.

*edit* there isn't a mark on the tyre :S

Will look into Pristine Wheels, they did come up on google, but it's hard to trust a company without some positive feedback.

Is it a real split rim? If that is part of the wheel and not just a dish then the wheel is scrap as the alloy is kinked and as such weakened


hope someone can sort it as i love those wheels

Damn Tom so soon after you fitted them aswell

Probably have to replace the lip rather than just get that knocked out as it is pretty bent, a decent reapir place shouldnt have a problem doing a lip swap though.

That won't repair. It'll split if bent back.

Get a new barrel.

[J766--]

Fake splits. Are lips replaceable in this instance?

[joe f]

Nope

Need a new wheel bud.

LOL like I'm gonna find another '98 Spec Work VSX in 17x8 4x114.3PCD.

Damn.
