WHEEL REFURBISHMENT HELP!

[Porkernut]

Wind caught garage door, bolt on bottom of door caught alloy....ouch!!!

Nice deep chunk out of alloy can it still be refurbished or will I need a new one?

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT GUYS

[sportsandclassic]

may need some pictures .....what type of wheel it is ect...

[Porkernut]

18 inch Carrera's right next to the spoke, it is one of those big bolts that hold the door on, there is a head size chunk out of the inside of the rim, the rim outside edge & the spoke are ok, but it is rather deep!

B*gger!!

you might like to try wickedwheels, they refurbed my split rims brilliantly, and were very helpful on the phone.

jasmine are also very good.

go to Lepsons-you need an offsite full refurbisher who can weld alloy in, rather than a mobile "tarter upper"

Thanks guys, I'll try them, any other ideas welcome.

Mel will be along shortly to tell you to go to Diamond Styling....

I'm in the East Midlands, must confess that Lepsons probably look the best bet, about £80 including new alloy to replace the chunk taken out!
