Just been told one of my alloys is buckled, has a "throw" in it and is beyond repair. It's an 8 spoke OZ off a TVR S3. Who's the best around so I can take it for a second opinion? I'm in the Swansea area but prepared to try anywhere in South Wales. Cheers Neil

Thanks both, took the wheel to both places and got the same answer i.e. its safe enough to use but not possible to straighten. They both reckon the car at some time has gone sideways into a kerb (not me honest)hence the slight buckle, it's a rear wheel so thankfully doesn't affect the driving experience. Thanks again.

Thanks both of you for the help/suggestions but I think (hope) I've managed to source a replacement. I've sent the money now I'm just waiting for it to arrive. Cheers.
