lufc_lad Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Driving home last night i hit an unavoidable pothole. It's the first time i've had a damaged alloy so i'm not sure on the severity of it. If you could observe and advise it would be much appreciated.

RCJ Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 im no expert but you either going to have to pay to have it fixed or a new alloy. Damage to alloys increase risks when driving i.e. Blow outs... Correct me if im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted £70 minimum online, but i found LSN Coatings in Castleford, West Yorkshire. They will refurbish your alloys and spray them any colour for £30 for 16" or £35 for 17" per alloy. Try ringing around, dont just look online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lufc_lad Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looks bad :/ is your driving affected? Not that i've noticed. Is it a new alloy job or would a refurb sort it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nay ZS Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Wow. Even on my phone screen I can see that is a fairly nasty buckle. Are you sure the price you have been quoted is to sort out the buckle and not just the kerb marks on the alIoy ? I would probably look into getting a new alloy. Someone posted a link with the prices in one of the other buckled wheel threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroodoN Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I need to replace one of my alloys (16', 7spoke) so I phoned ford today and they quoted my for 180 pounds. I can get for 135 off eBay + fitting costs (saving around 30 quid). Thats expensive and im thinking about getting new set, selling other 3 to get some money back and maybe buckled alloy will not happen to me again. What do you think? Does anyone recommend any good alloys as a replacement? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
