Wheel Repair

[Piston Head]

Unfortunately one of my two Fiesta's has suffered a kerb impact today resulting in the writing off of a tyre and the damage shown to the rim.

I'm looking to get the rim repaired and wondered if there was any experience / advice here including any recommendations for repairers in the south east.

 

Thanks

Trouble with alloy wheel repairs is most will never match the original colour, so they advise on having two wheels resprayed, not cheap neither, I kerbed one of my wheels and to get the wheel repaired was to cost me £60 but can't guarantee the silver will be the same, £120 for two wheels was not an option, so looked around and picked up a brand new Ford alloy wheel for £75 which was the same colour...bargin.

Ive had a couple done down here and spot on so i guess depends on the company ,paint etc.

Not sure where you are in the South East but these guys are really good

For ages I've wanted to get my wheels painted in graphite grey and have the outer face of the wheel diamond turned, then lacquered, last quote was £85 each 😞 Need to get rid of the woman first though :)

Getting rid of the woman would probably cost you a lot more in the long run. Lol
