| Bandido A Maneira!!  | Re: how much to fix this A bit far for you but theres an alloy wheel place near me that charges £25 to straighten buckled wheels (without paint though) if you want it painted then the charge another 45 on top.

 | Re: how much to fix this
On aluminum your mad Alloy doesn't respond well to being bent back and generally cracks and fails due to the stresses involved i'd bit the bullet and order a new alloy rather that than the rim splitting leaking out all the air at 70mph..  EDIT: and from the first picture it looks like the side wall of that tire is knackered

| oh my gentle jesus  | Re: how much to fix this oooohhh that wheels fudged mate, they are rare wheels, contact mangalesti, as the wheel is now significantly weaker, if youve bashed the alloy into shape again, you've ruined it, sorry, should have waited, and just used your spare for now.

| Here to help | Re: how much to fix this Brooksy Do Not drive on that tyre. The belting has gone resulting in a buldge in your tyre wall. In short it could and most likely will blow out!!!!!!!
