Anonymous Unregistered A	I have a big buckle in one of my aftermarket alloys. Its on the inside on the lip and causes road noise/discomfort etc. Can this wheel be mended or do you have to buy new? - the rest of the wheel needs a bit of a lick as well, so its a full on job if it can be done

Anonymous Unregistered A	Thanks for your replies, guys. No - there isn't any sort of fracturing of the metal, just a bl00dy great dent! I'm glad it can be repaired, cos the car looks with them on. Now for a decent refurbish chappie in my area........
