Not many people touch Magnesium unfortunally plus I've heard nothing but bad about the place near me (Dr Kerb).

I did get Iain Jemison to do a repair but I wasn't overly impressed with what he did for me

think thats bad imagine how i felt when my was fucked by the missus dads neighbour having the hump that i parked the cossie infront of his house so he LET MY TYRE DOWN

her dad lives in oxford and i was doing 110ish on the M40 with 1 flat tyre and my little girl in the back

so her old man let his windscreen down with a golf club ( he didnt give a shite about the wheel though )

THEN to find theres no chance of getting another and EARS advice if my wheels are mag or not is ( they cost 350 quid each when new if there mag )

iain jameison sorted it out, dont look tidy on the inside but it balances and dont go down either

cost me 60 quid too
