Bought a set of alloys quite cheap months ago but never got round to getting one fixed up, this is what it looks like



any idea how much it would cost?

Was recommended Alloy Wheel Repairs in Carnwath. Guy is supposed to be a perfectionist. Ended up buying 2 new alloys, the 2 bent ones are in my garage but when required will go to them to get fixed. Can't remember the exact quote but c£60 per alloy? Worth a call, guy took his viper alloys there.

Used the wheel specialists in East Kilbride a good job but was a refurb on all four for me.

For actual repairs not a refurb I've heard good things about Gordon Hazelton in Hillington Industrial Estate. Not sure of cost but I took a very expensive Cargraphic split rim to him that didn't look any where near as bad as that and he said he'd never get it 100% !

Don't think I'd take a chance with bent wheels if putting any real power and speed on them.
Worth giving him a bell though.

tyres can still go on it fine, it's just the lip thats bent which doesn't look nice. planning on powder coating them too.

I've used Powdertec near springfield quay a few times and they have been excellent or as above Alloy Wheel Repairs in Carnwath if Powdertec won't repair.

I've had a few wheels straightened by Chameleon Wheel Refurb in Renfrew. Some worse than that too! Think it was £25 last winter when I belted a pavement.
