what do you reckon is a good rate for refurb of a wheel with a slight flat section? - not bad enough to cause wobble, fail an MOT, or allow air loss. All four are really kerbed, but not sure what best strategy is for them.

I managed to buckle three alloys when I drove to Romania. At the next MoT the tester told me I'd have to get them straightened first or he'd not do the test...

I took the Multi to an engineering shop which specialises in wheels, they only charged £50 to take all four wheels off the car, remove the tyres, straighten and refit. Seemed a good deal to me!

They said they'd straighten, remove kerbing marks and powder coat for £50 - £75 per wheel depending on the work required.

Dunno if these prices are typical throughout the UK though.

thats useful - I'll try and find somewhere to do the former first.

sadly, a Berlingo is back on the menu.
nice 17" wheels on car in classifieds if anyone is looking for a sound highspec facelift with most things done!
