Buckled Alloy

Post by shpongled » Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:32 pm

Hello chaps,

My front nearside is buckled, took it to get the balancing sorted due to vibrations, the first place made a terrible job so took it elsewhere. They both told me the alloy was buckled... Bloody shitty roads....

Anyone know if it can be fixed? Otherwise anyone have a 19" oem for sale?

Cheers

I think Aligod on here got his buckled wheels repaired and refurbed by a company he recommended near Gatwick?

Lepsons in Gillingham do thousands and have a great rep. Taking my new set there soon for a refurb, will then swap them over and get the oem ones done

Class.

Bless.. hope you get sorted soon. I had the same issue years ago and managed to get Audi to give me a full set of new Alloys for £350 total, not a bad price for all four, less than 90 quid a corner.

Good luck, lots of good quality aftermarket alloys, and someone once posted the OEM manufacturer on here to save the Audi mark-up.
Present:...
Lotus Evora GT410 Sport, Caterham 420R, CCM Spitfire, VW T2 Bay Window 1976

Past:
DB11 AMR, 992, 991.2, Yamaha MT01, 640d Gran Coupe, 635d Coupe, RS6 C5, Audi TT 225 Coupe, Astra with wind up windows, Citroen ZX, Rover 213, yes behold, a Rover 213... Renault 5
