Hagons do a dam good job on alloy wheels-I know cause they managed to fix the 5 spoke marchesini that was on the TZ when it hit the wall at Mcleans-'like an exocet missile' according to the marshall. The dent was big enough to break the tyre bead, but the wheel straightened-they use various jigs and a cold pressure hydraulic ram system which they have developed over many years-and it works. The best bit is, if they can't fix the wheel there is no charge. No risk really since the wheel is scrap anyway if they cannot fix it. Bloody strong those alloy marchesini's..................
