Alloy wheel straightening

[Atari Boy]

Does anyone know of a company in East Anglia that can straighten an alloy wheel?

[Quattromaster]

Yes, where abouts are you.

I'm near Bury St Edmunds, but would travel for someone who is good.

Bruce at BA Wheels should be your man for that

Cheers Eddy, I didn't realise they did diamond cut stuff, but a quick check of their website tells me they do.
Saved me a trip to Gillingham in Kent! (hopefully)

I dropped my wheels off today, Chris sounds looks like he knows his stuff, a really nice chap too.
Thanks for the suggestion Billy MR.

Just a quick bump in case anyone searches for alloy wheel straightening in Norfolk (as I did). As others have said, Chris Sadd in your man- I dropped the Golf into a one of NCC's finest potholes last week, resulting in a bent alloy and delated tyre. I spoke with Chris, he sorted it the following morning, 100% spot-on. And it was nice to talk with someone that is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does.

Thats:- C.S Engineering, 3-5 Page Road, Sweet Briar Road Industrial Estate, Norwich, Norfolk NR3 2BX tel: [phone]. (Disclaimer- I have no association, just a happy customer etc. etc )

A place in Huntingdon straightens alloy wheels for around £70 I think, not sure if that's the going rate ?

Ours was only a slight 2"-3" inner rim 'flatten' (noticeable only against the tyre sidewall protector) so it was a very straight forward fix, so Chris charged us £35. You may have get any tyre taken off first though- there is a tyre depot over the road from him. He did say he can straighten significantly more damaged wheels, what he charges is all down to how much work is needed which can only be judged when he gets them on his kit in the workshop.

As far as I was concerned I had a result, the cheapest matching single wheel on ebay was £100 + carriage and then no doubt it would have been one that had been swopped out as someone had already bent it- back to 'square one'!
