A bit of help needed please.

I have an alloy wheel of the same kind on the car below (Not my car. The only pic I could find of the right alloy, thanks to bahnstormer vrs who I pinched it off). Can anyone tell me the name of the wheel so that I can source another. My wheels are anthracite in colour.

Or, can anyone point me in the direction of a company who can repair bent alloys?

Many thanks for the help.

Bigarn.

Can anyone also tell me how to make the pic I pinched show on the post!!!

use the insert image icon on the panel ( its the one 2nd alone from the smiley icon)

im sure your alloy can be repaired for around £30 to £50 quid

It's a B14. Good luck buying one for a reasonable price 2nd hand! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Skoda-18%22-B14-Alloy-Wheel-(part-no-CCB-609-001)_W0QQitemZ290383831612QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20091222?IMSfp=TL091222156001r13552)

Dunno if it's worth trying a Skoda dealer. Maybe they can still supply them?

I've been quoted £50+VAT for the repair of one of my wheels by my local dealer.

Is it scratched or bent?

Bent then I'd replace it if you can. Scratched then you can replace it.

Arrrgh. £300 !!!!

Come on folks, someone must know where I can get one cheap(I am a Scotsman after all) or where I can get it repaired. Thanks for the posts so far, but I really need the name and contact details for a repair company.

I am currently in a new house in the Brecon area of Wales. 5th house since 2006, the joys of working for HM Forces so something in the Wales / Herefordshire area would be good.

Ps, Its bent in two places on the outside and one on the inside.

Personally, I'd throw that one away, advertise the others as spares and just buy another set of wheels.

With that many bends you must be seeing race cars going round it. Scrap and a new wheel in my opinion.

Pothole?

I'd try skoda as it wasn't that popular so you might be able to get one they have in stock at a warehouse somewhere.

Pothole?

Take plenty of pictures & claim from the offending council..

Pothole indeed, a rather large one hiding on a bend at about 70mph.

Thought I might send the bill to the transport minister for a laugh;)

Anyone got a repairers name and number?

Cheers Arn

Set of 4 new ones = £500 tops.

Sell the old ones @200 each... Profit

Thanks for the replies. The wheel is officially kippered.

Need ideas for a new set of alloys. I think black alloys would look good on a yellow estate.

Any ideas?

Cheers Arn.

Ps, I am not loaded so need sensible options.
