As per title, clipped the front wheel on a stock AMV8 Roadster on a narrow coastal road with a hearty "thump". Doesn't look too bad but thought I'd have a look at wheel prices before looking at refurbishing it. Any recommendations/prices?

Cheers.

Someone might be able to help if you say which wheels you have.

Lucky it's not a Sports Pack diamond cut wheel. They are much more expensive to refurbish.

Thanks chaps. I was on a very tight road and an oncoming bus, although on well on his side, looked a little too close for comfort. Eased over to the left and hit a rut in the road. Typical.

One last question, fuse 22.. wink Naturally I popped it out but the damn thing fell into the gap beside the fuse box and beyond my reach. Local Aston dealer for replacement?

Thanks again.

Halfords or any cheap motor factor shop......handbook apparently tells you the size and the rating according to a recent post!

I did the same on my wheel last week coming out the office car park! Very annoying!!!

Standard blade fuse DONT buy it from Aston laugh I think it is 20A?
That wheel is an easy refurb as well.

£23.78p to refurbish in the end. Lovely.
