Has anyone got a rear 5 spoke chimaera alloy wheel they might want to sell ? I seem to have a warped one.

Does anyone know if you can have wheel straightened ? Its only a slight buckle, and there is no actual damage to the wheel. I cant feel it when driving the car, but it doesnt look good when you spin the wheel by hand.

Hi,

I remember talking to Joospeed about getting wheels straightened. He has just had one mended that was so bad it needed hairline cracks welding up aswell as straightening. Not cheep as I remember but probably cheeper than buying a new wheel (if you can find one!!). I think he said about £90 (probably + VAT) for straightening and refurbishing afterwards. Give him a .

Why not give the factory a ring as they have old wheels from Chimaeras after doing wheel/tyre upgrades.

Have a look on ebay - I'm sure there are some for sale.
