Aaarg!

I kerbed my beautiful anthracite forged alloy yesterday on my Evora.

Anyone in the Norwich area able to recommend someone to repair it?

:-(

Owen went to a guy on Aylsham road, and Owen will readily admit to be very very demanding in terms of finish, the guy did what most would consider a good job, but did it a second time to get it to Owen's satisfaction.

Kerbed alloys!! - him indoors is taking it as an excuse to have them recoloured black, pending an executive board decision

I just scrapped one rear alloy really quite badly (anthracite forged) in a multi story, not happy at all! Is there some one in Surrey who could take a look?

dare I ask how much a new one costs?

They're about £600 each I think, rears are about 10% more than the fronts.

Got a pic, can it be repaired?

That can definitely be fixed for lots less than £100 for sure! Take it to Lepsons perhaps?

Thanks I will give them a shout.

Hello mate try Wiked Wheels at Woking. phone Kevin on 01483 302227 M.07765 254854.ive used them before..was very happy and great price..Based in surrey..

I had my standard wheels coated satin black for about £80 per corner. As that's a whole wheel, I would expect a touch up and repair to be about the same.

Bell and Colvill took care of it for me, but I think they sent the wheels to Spit and Polish which took a few days.

Hello,

I´ve also damaged one of my anthracite forged wheels. Does anyone know the color code??

Thanx!!

greetings, Martin

Anyone found any touch up paint for the stealth grey wheels? I am going to keep scuffing them slightly when parking in central London so not worth getting them reconditioned every time, but touching them up would make the marks less obvious.

Thanks

I managed to shread all around one of my rims whilst moving through the euro tunnel train recently. Downside of having a car with no space saver is the logistics of getting a wheel taken off & sent away to get sorted & being carless for a few days, bit anoying.

Crap. Hit the inevitable NYC pothole so hard the flange separated from the rest of the wheel.

That must have loosen a filling or two!

The amazing thing is it's held pressure, even at speed, for two weeks.

teehee, Moxie said Flange   

Does anyone know of a decent alloy protection system?.. 

Wider tyres usually do the trick!

I'm struggling to believe you are still driving around on that Matt!

 

Is NYC buying you a new one?

Here's the route I drove on it, roundtrip, sometimes up to 90mph: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Jackson+Heights,+Queens,+NY&daddr=Macungie,+PA+to:Bethel,+PA&hl=en&sll=40.615085,-75.088202&sspn=1.229052,2.986908&geocode=FeLhbQIdQqKY-ykrabSRoV_CiTFKMn6xT-Zz5Q%3BFVo5agIdjh5_-ynPq9pfwi_EiTFgieflZyakFw%3BFTiXaQIdQ-Bz-ylvaL4IRP3FiTHMeh_w-YqjfA&oq=Jackson+HEIGHTS&mra=pr&t=m&z=10

 

It's about 296 miles. Lucky I guess.

Fixed. Magnafluxed and X-rayed. Amazing.

 

I know the wheel is round but I just can't help look at that with my head tilted to the left!
