Does anyone know where's good at sort damaged alloys out? I've used a guy before based near Wakefield who was really good at repairing an alloy wheel when I had a Ford Cougar and hit a bad pot hole. But done a similar thing with the fiesta and cant remember his details.

He was based near Durkar, just off the M1. He had his workshop in his garage, but did a great job.

Anybody know of him or another company that could do a similar job?

Cheers
Jonty

I can recommend Metal Magic in Barnsley: Tel. 0844 474 4358

They did a great job on 2 sets of Alpinas for me.

Thats the chap in Durkar. Cheers for the number.

I think I got the guys number from Metal Magic in Barnsley, would be better since thats where I live, but think they said they dont do repairs as such, more just referb.

May have been able to find one at a scrap yard, but if no luck there will give him a bell.

I think thats a bit ambitious. They can be reshaped to a certain extent, but not welded as far as I know.

Unless you can find a spare then probably best flogging them if you can. Pity, they look a nice set.
