Here is my cossie wheel from my Sierra which i crashed into a curb the other day, the suspension damage is coming on nicely but dont have wheels for when its done. This is the rear wheel and the front has a 5" grind out of it. Can is be saved by a professional or do i have to bodge it myself just so its usable for now (flap disc sharp bits and try get it smooth all round with a very small lip still left)
Thanks

 

I'd take it to someone who can see if its straight before doing anything.

 

It's still dead straight, i've had it on the balancer at work so just cosmetic damage

 

thing is its ripped the whole lip of the edge of the wheel so only fit for a spare at best as it will look very odd

 

A good professional wheel refurbing outfit (not one of these mobile things) should be able to sort that without any problems. They would grind down the damage and then rebuild it with alloy welding.

Lepsons down this way would be ideal for it, but are probably too far for you.

 

Why bother refurbing it?

they are mondeo not es cos

 

thats a mondeo rim not escort cosworth...

 

defo repairable - my missus has done far worse to mine in the past and the alloy place got them as good as new

 

Grind the lips of all of them lol. Always thought the lip looks shit

 

surely just cheaper to buy a single wheel?

 

I can't seem to find a single wheel and don't want to pay atleast £400 for a set

 

fixed worse when i worked for a wheel refurb company last year, setting up my self now not far off ready,i know a really good alloy welder but hes not cheap only in castleford aswell
