Ive got an alloy wheel thats got a flat spot in it, which obviously means its not rotating in a nice circular motion and runs as if its buckled. Its annoying as hell on the road as it causes a lot of vibrations through the steering wheel (is definitly the wheel btw) and so im after getting it fixed. Does anyone rate anywhere in essex that would be able to straighten out the wheel for me? tried all the local places in colchester and they all said they could take out the scuffs and paint it for me which is nice but not very useful

Cheers, Harry

 

Buy another Wheel.

Not worth repairing IMO.

Have you tried The Wheel Hospital? I have heard they are good, but personally I wouldn't bother.

 

as above, bolt it to the wall and use to wrap the garden hose round

As above, if it's that bad you can feel it then i think you're best getting a new rim.

 

cheers for the advice chaps! Dont know if my dad will appreciate the hose reel idea tho damo

what tyoe of wheel is it and is the flat spot on the inside of the rim?

lots of places repair these and its worth getting it done if you cant buy the wheel anymore.

if its something like a 'fox' rim then throw it and buy another one as said above.

 

tis a smith ipon wheel and cant find one at all online.
