Unhappy Is this repairable?

To cut a long story short, there was a sizeable brick in the road which i tried to avoid but failed. Hit it at about 60mph so I'm surprised the damage isn't worse. Does anyone know if my wheel can be fixed?


Thanks in advance,
Michael,

Yes. Had similar damage to one of my wheels a few years ago. You will need to find an alloy wheel refurbisher in youre area. Try google or yell.com. Costs about £40.

As a side.......................try and find a nasty hole in the road. I'm not suggesting you should do this but if such a hole existed near you that could have done the damage you "could" claim for repair from council. Form available by contacting local council. You need photos etc.

I did actually hit a pot hole about 3cm deep and 30cm across and claimed for a new Toyo and the wheel repair.
