Fix damaged alloy to make spare wheel

[lkc]

As some of you may know I buckled one of my alloys on a pothole back in April. The council hit me with a prove it letter at a time when I couldn't care about material possessions so I ignored things. It's now too late to argue the case and to be honest I'd rather move on. So now I'm looking at repairing the buckled alloy with the idea to using it as a spare so if anyone has a place to recommend/avoid in getting it repaired I'd appreciate ideas



Thanks

ETA: Aberdeen area would be good

Is it not possible? I'm beginning to think I'd be better off getting a steelie from the scrappy

What is it you drive again?

Might get a good second hander from Overton?

Take it to an alloy refurb place, They'll tell you if it is repairable or not.

Grande Punto and yes if I can't get it refurbished then I'll see what Overton has.

That's why I'm asking for recommendations

I think I'm going to approach the local garage and see if they can recommend somewhere

Not sure if they do refurbs, but theres a place in Peterhead that might be worth a shout? North East Specialist Coatings. I know they certainly coat alloys, so chances are they maybe carry out repairs!

Doesn't hurt to ask I guess!
