Wheel advice
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 2016 9:01 am
Coming home late the other night with the car fully loaded with heavy boxes (have been moving house and picked up a load of stuff from storage) I hit a pretty nasty pot hole. I got the car checked and it's very slightly buckled both wheels on that side.
So - I can either look at getting the wheels repaired by an alloy specialist or replace them. Given the less than perfect state of the wheels all round, replacement of 2 would look at bit odd. I have 19" V spokes.
Anyone have any experience of repairs - spoke to company who said they can do it but will there be any longer term safety concerns?
If I replace any ideas where I could just pick up 4 replacement V spokes without the costs being ridiculous?
This has inevitably happened at a time when life is utterly mental with the house move, work being stupidly busy and everything else in the world seemingly all happening at the same time. These things never happen when you have a load of free time to deal with them, lol!
