[TopiToo]

Hello

and another thing . . . .sorry

I have removed the front brembo wheel, and there is a definate buckle in the wheel, not to concerned as will be replacing anyhow.

Can you get wheels straighten? or is it best not too

regards

Yes they can be straightened but only by someone who knows what they are doing. I have had Maidstone Motorliner straighten a couple of ally wheels with no ill efects to date.

Recommend Hagon. A quick google should throw them up easy enough.

They repaired a nasty dent in my front Marchesini and did a great job.

About £80 all in including removal/refit of tyre, balancing etc etc...

Advise you email them a picture, and they should be able to confirm whether it's do-able or not.

Do you rekon Hagon could do anythin with this matey????

[JACKO748S]

LOL! Why do need to send it away? Bit of T-Cut....sorted......



Seriously though, that must've been some pothole mate. What really happened?

Jacko.
