Alloy Wheel repair on Black Edition Audi A4

[dvg]

Well having never curbed an alloy in my life, 2 months after picking up my A4 black edition with the titanium diamond cut wheels I did one!!!!

Was wondering how much it would cost to get it refurbished as the car doesn't have a single mark on it so it annoys me quite a lot. Would £100 seem resonable as I've had a quick look to see on some websites.

Another thing I would worry about is that the repair may blemish in the long term, I will be changing the car in just under 3 years anyway but is it likely to show up in that time frame?

Many thanks,

dvg

hello mate did you get anywhere with this? I've just done the same *rage* is not the word.

Wheels are a safety critical item. Repaired alloys are weaker. I'd bite the bullet buy new and dump that one

[warrenm14]

You'd rather replace a kerbed alloy then repair it because you think it introduces weakness? Are you having a laugh?

[Doctle Odd]

I'm not laughing at all, I have a family that I carry at 120kph on occasion, If its bent it's stressed if it's stressed it's weak. Cosmetic damage can be repaired after that my family comes first

Kerbed....... I didn't wrap it round a tree or something.

75mph with your family; dead safe.

75 IS safe I just don't trust wheel that have been straightened or welded. dvg will definitely get a kerbed wheel as good as new for a ton. Sorry some crossed wires there mate
