After 10 months arguing with the council, they have agreed to pay for renewing or repairing 2 of my 4 damaged wheels.
I'm sick of the hassle so will settle for 2 (better than nothing) but how best should I go about it as they need an Invoice.
I could order 2 from Prodrive but they would be the wrong colour, then again If i knew a local alloy repairer well enough he might agree to repair the 4 and bill me for 2? ....But I dont 
The thing is I just got 4 new tyres and I can't afford to be spending more money refurbing or painting the other wheels at this time of year as the wife will have an eppy fit 
Ideas on a postcard......

Go mental and shoot everyone in the council.... job done.  [Just incase this gets lost in translation, I am not slandering you, I know people can be sensitive to these harsh words.]

How damaged are they? I'm good friends with the folks at PPS in Inverurie, they do all my wheels....
Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...

It's pothole damage, they look like they are kerbed but water has got in behind the paint/powdercoat too so there is some bubbling as well.
This was 10 months ago, they look worse now.

Ah PPS could sort that out no problem. They do the full re-furb too, not just the faces like some places do. You'll get brand new looking wheels again for about £40 a wheel I think it is  Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...

Suggest when you find wheel repairer get 4 wheels repaired and ask for invoice which only shows repair for 2 wheels but with total cost.
If rims badly scraped they will alloy weld and re profile.

in all seriousness, if that wheel aint bent I'd imagine they probably could fix that!

PPS will also give you a bit off knock-off if you a full member on Aberdeen Scoobies.
The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
