Now I may just be unlucky, but I'm on my second set of Spiders. The first set I had, I managed to hit a pothole at NSL and buckled it to a state where I needed a new one. Me being me, I opted for a set of used ones from classifieds and have been informed that they all have some form of buckling! They can all be fixed without too much of a drama, but it does lead me onto the thought that these wheels, apart from looking nice are a. Made of butter and b. Weigh a ton!
So its got me thinking that perhaps rather than just getting the wheels straightened out to only have them get damaged again at some stage, I ought to look at replacing them with something a bit sturdier and lighter.

As I mentioned earlier, the Spiders do IMO look really good on the Tuscan. I do like the look of the SP12s as well, but am interested to know if anyone has found another alternative thats in keeping with the look of the car whilst improving on the weight and wear issue?

Are you able to recommend someone who can straighten Tuscan alloys?

No all the way up your neck of the woods Im afraid, but as long as the damage isnt catastophic, most wheel specialists should be able to sort them out without too much of a drama.
