Had to avoid some knob in a 944 who did not give way - had parked car in his lane, result I had to squeeze up and kerbed my front p/s - its not pretty

, any recommendations of people who repair or any advicegratefullyreceived... so very annoying

Try scuffed alloys.com or 'chips away' mate.

Avoid Toyota dealer, - they will just subcontract and add a big markup!

Checked these guys out and got a quote.


To just repair the rim its £75 + VAT - there will be a small line above each spoke where they grind the rim down to be smooth.



To completely redo the wheel they will repaint it and then do the whole diamond cut again for £115 +

VAT

How much for a new rim?

An imperfect 'spare' may be handy to have...

That, my friend, is an excellent suggestion as always!

Either that or sell the kerbed one. I would happily buy 4 kerbed wheels for a track day.....

WTF?

Are you sure your real name isn't Mr Turpin (Richard) !?

Do not ask for Japanese spares as the price may offend.

 

[Stu]

That's not an unusual price for an OEM wheel. BMW wheels are £400+!

Jeez - on another thread I'm sure they said £200 + VAT - think I will go for the diamond cut in that case..

 

[SteveP]

Thats what it was when i ask our parts department i didn't go into to much detail just ask for a retail price.

I also thought somebody had posted that they were £240 +vat (which I thought was quite reasonable for an OEM price) but I couldn't find the thread.

When all Seddon Atkinson, it's still cheaper than some lovely forged BBSs.

Choose your poison...

 

[Senna]

For the size they are, they are well overpriced.

Light though...
