Bent wheel pot hole knightmare (sic)

[thegreasyweasel]

Hello!

I bottomed out in a pot hole the other day, and after a juddery trip on the motorway have finally got her up on a ramp and notice I have a 'flat spot' on my front offside wheel.

So...

1) does anyone know a place in the midlands that can straighten alloys out? (no idea if this is even possible)
2) if not does anyone have a spare wheel going... er... spare?

much love.

Depends of the damage, try a Google search for wheel repair centers in you area, I think new ones are about £110

 

[Farnsworth]

A new one will actually cost a little bit less than £200 are getting pretty rare second hand and are only available from Renault in Trophy fitment.

A new wheel is £183.10 from renault and its the new style Speedline Alloy you get with all the markings inside the spokes.

The older style Trophy Alloys are only available if someone is selling one or a set second hand.

Like above there is lots of alloy refurbishment centres throughout the UK that can sort bent, buckled & cracked alloys.
