| We be burning... Oil  | Dented alloy I think one of my alloys has been a victim of a pot hole, I feel the steering wheel wobbling from side to side at low speeds and vibrating faster the faster I go. I'm using 17" wolfrace snipers (no longer made AFAIK) so what I want to know is there anyway one could be repaired? Straightened out and rebalanced? Anyone near Birmingham able to do that?

| blessed are the apostates  | Re: Dented alloy buckled alloys can be fixed by freezing them, but i mean really freezing, liquid nitrogen cold. most alloy refurb places can do this. it needs to be painted afterwards, which means you'd need to spray all 4 to get them matching. | ||

| umop apisdn  | Re: Dented alloy Last time I enquired about it was a firm in Melton Mowbary (can't remember the name as it was about 4 years ago) and the guy on the phone said that they can get most flat spots out, but they would need to look at it first to see how bad it is
