I am looking for a good runaround; and I have seen a 07 Civic 2.2 EX. It's a pretty good car for its age. However, one if the alloy wheels is badly blistered. I assume the next thing to happen is that the blistering will start to flake.

Would anybody know how likely this is (I have not come across it before!)? If it does flake, what would be the cost of reparing it?

Hi, you can get a mobile repairer to do the face of the wheel - dependant on where you are they are about £50-70 per wheel & many of the main dealers use this type of smart repair as it is quicker & they don't remove the tyre,just peel it back slightly from the edge of the rim. I think Wicked Wheels are a national franchise though there are other similar companies who would help you. Good luck
