Default damaged 18" wheels
I have a set of 18" alloys on my golf, unfortunatly i knocked a chunk outta one of them about 2" long and an inch deep in the rim, cant get them welded as they're apparently made of pewter, cant get a replacement as theyre a very limited edition, only have them on the car for a month so its a bit of a bummer, any suggestions or know anyone who can repair it?

Try a search on the net, the guy who told you your wheels are made of pewter is talking out of his a*se.
