hotrain69 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 not a happy bunny today! first had to go to work when i was supposed to be on holiday and then on the way i did this................... some useless driver decided that they needed to drive in both lanes rather than just the one like everybody else, so had to avoid him in doing so went a bit too far right and clipped my rear right wheel on the kerb. it looks really bad! and knowing my luck i'm not holding much hope for the answer to the question. can this be repaired or refurbed? damn work, if only i didnt have to go into work. and thought it would be quick but i'm still bloody here!!!!!

Chilli Red Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 OMG you poor thing, you are having a real run of bad luck Looks like mission impossible to me but someone may tell you different. I think you will find Zmanalex has some of those if it's not refurbable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sally Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Oops, Hope they can fix it! I hope work are paying you double time!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 well i can't afford to get new wheels at the moment. so i guess i will just have to drive around with these on for 2 or 3 months. should be ok to drive on though right? was planning on getting some 19's anyway in the next 2 or 3 months anyway but would've had to rely on selling these rays. but now i guess i wont be able to shift them. that's a proper double whammy!!!!

They might fix. I'm not sure! If they aren't letting air out then they should be ok to drive on! You might be able to pick up a single wheel as a replacement....

Ian Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think it would be repairable. I've seen a lot worse get repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think it would be repairable. I've seen a lot worse get repaired yeh? that is some consolation i guess. does anyone know who i should go to in herts or london area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Definately repairable but I do have spare ones if you need one but that really should not be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wicked Wheels on Crawley or Lepsons who are Kent/Essex way are very good. Bit of a drive from you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab350z Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I reckon they'd be repairable. Just had mine done and they prob weren't far off that, except without the bit hanging off. That just looks odd!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wicked Wheels on Crawley or Lepsons who are Kent/Essex way are very good. Bit of a drive from you though. +1, they can work wonders and there prices/worj is top notch I think it will be re-pairable bud, is there any tyre wear?

hotrain69 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 think you can just about see the mark on the tyre in the first photo. right in the middle of the length of the damage and to the right! if that makes sense!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 should be repaired easily, they'll rebuild up the lip and spray it in to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.croco Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 100% repairable. This guys do wanders, they are from Portugal, it's just for an example! http://www.reparadoradasjantes.com/ing/ ... racao.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 think you can just about see the mark on the tyre in the first photo. right in the middle of the length of the damage and to the right! if that makes sense!!! from the pic it looks like a cut or split in the sidewall, I'd be getting a new tyre pretty sharpish if it's anything more than a surface mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
