Hit something on the motorway the other morning, everything seemed ok till I got to work, as I pulled in the tyre went flat, don't know how it had kept air in till that point as it was knackered, unfortunately so is my wheel, am on the hunt for a new one or maybe a set if anyone knows of any?

Do you need a vy or vz cv8 wheel? I've got a spare vy wheel available after cracking one of my own wheels and having to buy a new set.

Sorry I can't help Gary but I think your facelift CV8 wheel is different style to early CV8

Get it repaired. There's a few places that will fix even badly damaged wheels. Take a look at alloyweldcraft.co.uk, for example.

I would advise against having the wheel welded and would look to source a new or good second hand wheel.

Plantinum alloys at Swindon can straighten and do welding repairs, or you could try Raving for a secondhand wheel.

Motoliner in Maidstone will also repair whatever they can. It's surprising what can be saved.
