Alloy wheel buckled

[DocArbathnot]

Just had my wheels balanced and both n.s. have flat spots.
(not bad but a little vibration through the steering wheel at speed)
Any one had any success with having buckled sorted?

I have had success whith a place in Shorpe called the wheel doctor.

Whether it will work or not is entirely dependant upon where on the wheel the damage is.

If it is to the inner rim there is every likelihood that it can be done, but they cannot guarantee a fix until they try to do it.

Thanks Andy,

I'll give the local place a call. It's got to be worth a shot.

be careful with alloy wheels as they dont like being straightened as they will crack, I would let a proper place have a look

Yup I agree. This place is local to me so I'll give it a try.
