If I was to have lost the back end coming back from Goodwood at the weekend on a muddy road and bent the rim on one of my anthracite front wheels, would you know where I could get it straightened. Bell Hill garage fellows have no front wheels left !

Not sure I'd want a repaired front spider on my car. I would rather buy a second hand undamaged one and have it painted to match.

There are a couple on ebay but I don't know if they are fronts or rears. Worth asking at that price!

I would have to agree i dont think they repair particularly well.

I also think you may run the risk of having buckle in the used wheels - the spiders are quire soft.

New from TVR Power is around £120 i think.

They did mine 3years ago and they are still perfect today. Makes all the difference being stripped properly then baked.
