E60 - Alloys refurbishment
Discussion
Hi Forum members,
Just joined the forum recently and was hoping if I could use your insight. I own a 2008 530d, which has been great so far except for the front driver side alloy wheel. There is a think leak from the alloys, and the wheel drains out from 34-36 PSI to 10-12 PSI. I did check that with a tyre shop who applied some black glue like material to the inside alloys which did work for a month or two and then I am back at square one. The tyre shop advised if I was interested in doing an alloy wheel refurbishment (£65 per wheel) but wouldn't guarantee that would fix the problem. The alloys otherwise are perfectly fine and no scratches/dents what so ever.
Just wondering if anyone in the forum has ever faced a similar situation? If I go for a refurbishment should I just do one v/s 4 (Why fix something which isn't broken mentality)? Please advise.
Regards,
Alok
