Wheel problems?

[m3coupe]

What problems has everyone experienced when they have had damaged wheels?

The roads where i stay are nothing short of sh**e, potholes everywhere and if there is none of them,the drains have sank and cause more problems.

Anyway, I know of at least one wheel, (front drivers) that has a flat spot but once i get above say 60, i get a recurring vibration every few seconds through the car making it feel very unstable. Don't dare going above 90 as it is plain scary.

Car has just had it's 6k service and it was picked up that 3 of the wheels were damaged, should i be looking at a repair or a new set bearing in mind that I don't think any wheel looks as good as the the 18" spiders.

Cheers in advance for any replies.

I have used these before a few times, very good service.

Sounds a good deal, the damage to my wheels isn't obvious, no gouges and no kerb marks but a slight flat spot here and there on each i think.

May give them a phone.

The spiders on Tuscans are renowned for buckling easily and it is not always easy to spot looking at them. I am a fan of the way the spider looks and compliments the car so I used Racing Greens 'swap' facility where they keep your buckled spider and replace it with a good 'un. It cost less than £100 a wheel from memory. Alternatively, you can go for a lighter, stronger alternative to the spider, I looked at the SP12 from Silverstone Performance as well as many others in the market place before deciding to stay with the spider.

Yeah, I've had a look at alternative wheels since the Spiders are so bloody soft but to be fair, I don't think anything looks as good on the Tuscan as the spider, lol.

I used these as well and they were first class - did exactly what they said on the tin. I got them to deliver the wheels straight to the tyre fitters and then collect the old ones the next day. Bloody good value.
