Buckled Wheel repair

[mrbongo]

No search available so I'll just start this up in the hope someone can help out!

I drove over a fence post on the motorway at the weekend, which dented front and back alloys, nothing too serious, we managed to roughly bash the dents back out with a hammer to get a seal on the (new) tyres and get back ok, so I was wondering where/how to get the alloys checked out and re-pressed or whatever they'll need. It's not a big thing, but I'd rather get them checked as opposed to carrying on regardless. It was a big hit on the M62, and a miserable time in the rain, but everyone's ok and that's always the main thing.

Surrey based if anyone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I will stand corrected, but I think you need to start looking for new wheels ASAP. It's ok to get a hammer to steel wheels, but alloy wheels won't stand it.

If they're not too buckled I think Lepson's may be able to repair them. They're over in Kent but IMO worth going to as they do really good work.

They're hardly buckled, but there was a dent that we've already bashed. Will look them up and see if they can help.

Cheers

Yup Lepsons can sort them assuming that the hub itself has no distortion.

http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ did some alloys for me, highly recomended. They told me they can do everything, including replacing missing bits!!
