Can abybody help !! got forced into a rather large pothole by a very nice chap in a Rangerover, as he overtook two kids on bikes on a bend in a country lane. I gave a friendly wave :mad: as he continued on the black stuff so as not to get his big wheels dirty.

The net result is, I now have a 60 + gram out of balance and a large flat spot on my rear wheel.

Has anyone got a 16 inch five spoke rear rim for sale for a 1999 Chimaera ?

Close to Hampshire would be good but anything considered to get the beast back on the road without that nagging vibration from 65 MPH !!

Do a google search for "alloy wheel refurbish" some won't remove flatspots, and some will... there's quite a few to choose from.
