Technical Wheel Repairs

[OLZ]

Got a dent/buckle in my alloy from a nasty pot hole.

I've seen these mobile repair guys advertised who will repair my dented/buckled alloy for £50 call out and £10 per wheel.

Anyone had experience? Thoughts?

Phone a couple of scrap yards and just buy one instead, surely cheaper.

Or eBay

Take pics of the pothole send them to your local council and claim it back they have a budget for it

Cost me £80 to get my buckled wheel sorted.

is it actually "as good as new" or is it worth paying out for a new one?

Considering I can get all 4 fixed for £90 by a wickedwheels thats not bad?

make sure they are powdercoated as if they are just sprayed the finish isnt very durable. Also are the removing the tyre and re fitting and balancing the wheels?

Ey? Paint?

I just want them put back to the right shape! Do they have to strip them?

:yeahthat:
Can see the dink in mine, or even while the wheel is on you can run your finger round the rim on the back of the wheel and feel it
