View Full Version : Alloy wheel repairs - any good/possible?
I couldn't think of where else to put this.
I managed to kerb by front nearside wheel yesterday which really made my day. Has anyone had any kerbing/scrapes fixed on alloys before? Is it worth it, any ideas on cost.
Otherwise, if it annoys me too much, any idea how much a LeonR alloy is?
Cheers
Andy
Ouch, sorry about the alloy mate, i've been extremely lucky not to catch mine yet...
Could you not put the spare on and leave the damaged one as a spare, or is it more than just surface damage?????

It's suface damage on one of the spokes and a bit of a scrape on the edge near the tyre.
It's actually not that bad. I might get Wicked to have a look as they're in Cheltenham (thanks EDC!).
Do I need to whack some lacquer on it in the mean time to stop it corroding?
:cheers: guys

You can usually have them refurbed for about 20-30 quid a wheel.

Just some wax should do the job m8. Just remember to re-wax it when you wash them.
