Pothole damage

Postby Bonovox » Wed May 06, 2009 9:34 am

Fecking bassas :evil: I need to get an estimate for new wheels to shove up the councils rectum. I think the damage is beyond a refurb, anywhere I can go online that could maybe give me a quote? I know they are hard to get now. :?

Oh crap..hope it isn't that bad and you don't have to get a new set.

Only place I know have them is RCM. Only 1 original set left there.

My wheels were never 100% one had a bit of blistering starting and a another had a few scuff marks but now at least 2 have gouges out of them. I hit one so hard I'm surprised the tyre didn't burst!
Thing is if I get them replaced it's probably just as likely to happen again. :?

Do you have a link to RCM ? I cant find it :oops:

Adam from Autotechnica put a thread on here as one was being broken up... phone them and see if they have any wheels off the damaged car!?!?

Worth a try!

RogerClarkMotorsport....I am sure you know the missing bits.

They have the gold and bright colours still but the original pewter grey ones are like rocking horse shit.

Paid around 980 quid for a set of 4...they come with the Prodrive centre caps and a set of wheel nuts too.

Wasn't there a WR1 getting broken?

Maybe contact them and see if you can get an alloy?

I have 2 spare Prodrive wheels, genuine ones too :wink:

they're both well scuffed up so need refurbed, and 1 has a slight kink on the outer edge but it can easily be sorted according to my mate who does it for a living 8)

If you were getting the alloys refurbed, (mine are a disgrace) would whoever was doing the work manage to get the correct colour as i dont want them looking greyer i like the tone.
Clark i have bought some Fire over ice and things from you ages back, i will be needing 4" pads for my rotary on a side note.
Does anyone have a recommendation or experiance for refurb in Aberdeen/shire.
My front alloys are mondo damaged. spokes are ok just paint has craked.

PPS in Inverurie did my wheels, although I got mine done in quite a light silver colour as it makes the car look cleaner in my opinion :D

have heard they are really good and well priced. :D did you take the whole car over or just the alloys??
Although may fancy some 19" O.Z superleg 3 lloys instead.
my rear right has a gouge out of it. Car was owned from new by female , there are no dings in doors and interior smells nice but wheels are fooked.
