Buckled Alloy

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

Speak to grizz at unit 20 - he referred me to company in Preston who sorted mine - fantastic job. grizz organised whilst he had my car. They Powder coated all the wheels - all like new - very very good job.

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.
