I hit a piece of wood a little while ago, and it's put slight flats on the front rim and a buckle on the rear. New wheels and tyres fitted (only a few hundred quid - gulp ).

But the damage is relatively minor and I'd like to save them, if only as spares.

Can anyone recommend a good wheel shop, preferably Midlands way, but I don't mind travelling.

Harry M8, thanks for digging out that old post of mine.

My bent wheels are still sitting in the garage. I think that they might be repairable, but only at a price close to that of new ones.

Yours in hope...

Richard.

Guys

Ian Jemmison of a small village near york.

Get a motoring news, he advertises in the back. Jemmison Engineering. He did some for me although it was some time ago and he was brilliant. About £30 each if i remember correctly.

Thanks again.
