Bent Alloy - Wheel repairs in Glasgow area

[AMcLean]

I've a flat spot on the inside of a 17" alloy wheel.

Does anyone know of any specialists in Glasgow area who have equipment to remove the flat spot. It's causing a minor vibration on the motorway.

I'm looking for someone with engineered equipment to do this, don't really want someone whacking it out with a mallet. Something like the machine from Ayce Systems... http://www.aycesystems.com/product/alloy-wheel-ref...

Used these guys loads of times:

Cheap and have loads of already refurbished wheels in stock.

See thread above. Gordon Hazleton has such equipment.

Does he? Directly opposite my work made a few enquiries but the guys who I've spoken to have never filled me with confidence.

I hear you brother. My only personal experience was with a set of CarGraphic splits. They sucked air and said they wouldn't be able to get them 100% so I returned them to the vendor.
I've spoken to a couple of garages who do repairs and they send the wheels to Hazleton.
Not really a recommendation just someone who does this.
