Alloy repair East Anglia

[BMWChris]

Hi,

I asked a similar question (and followed up on your answers, thanks) a few months ago but the saga is on going. (see Porsche forum if you want the details)

The replies last time were for people who refurbish wheels and i went to see them but noone could do what I needed. I need someone to repair a buckled and chunk missing wheel.

Any ideas? Thanks

Would it not be easier, cheaper and (maybe :scratchchin) safer to buy some new ones? Or possibly source some decent 2nd hand ones and refurb them if required?

If big chunks are missing, as you sure it's possible to repair them?
I ever so slightly buckled 2 of my wheels on a very bad pothole. I found two excellent, secondhand replacements for half the price of a brand new wheel from Mercedes

I know this doesn't really help with you question, but just some food for thought, I guess

I am trying to find a replacement but its not going well - it seems that they are an unusual size - they look like the optional ones but are actualy wider they were only ever optional on some 911s and they don't seem to come up very often. Hence looking for other options.
