Kerbed Lambo Alloy Wheel

[Gd181]

Whilst out for a blast in my Gallardo I clipped a kerb on a narrow lane with my front near side wheel, gutted! I have damaged the outer edge about 3" long, no cracks just ground the edge. I have black Callisto split rims, can anyone recommend a good repair specialist? I live in the North West of England

Has anyone had experiences, good or bad, with repairs to these style wheels?

Fekkin hurts doesn't it?!

Can't suggest anyone in your locale but rest assured that it can be repaired. I recently clipped a kerb in my 512TR and took a chunk out of the rim - all repaired for £20 extra on top of standard refurb cost.

Give the Wheel Specialist Chester a ring. Theyre just by Cheshire oaks and have website aswell.

I just had 4 wheels of Srt8 done and brilliant job.

Its no big deal, I kerbed mines and had them repaired and you can't tell. It was done in Portugal so can't help as far as recommendation goes though.

I have used Wheel Repair Centre in Preston who are good. But also did a Aston Martin wheel in Portugal and took it to act Leeds - they arranged for it to be fixed for c£80 and it was brilliant.
