So driving back from Glasgow to Aberdeen and I hit a cavern of a pot hole and buckled one of my 20" wheels on my Granturismo, its quite bad so not just a standard refurb, any recomendadtions in Aberdeen?

Laws tyres in bridge of don. They sort out my 20" on my Diablo years ago and stopped the leak. Downside is the process will leave a mark on the rim which they were very upfront about it prior to doing the job but I decided to go ahead with it. The mark is very slight and it never bothered me at all. It's either over a grand for a wheel or couple of hundred of pounds and I chose the latter. Hope this helps.

Turriff Tyres do this sort of thing, bit out of town though...great service though!

Another vote for Turrif Tyres, they brought an unbelievably buckled wheel back to life for me. The process uses heat, which means the wheel will probably need refurbished afterwards, but for an expensive or rare wheel it is worth it.
