Two "lipped" alloys, any chance of a repair?

TouchingVirus · 12-03-2009 1:50pm #1

I've got two wheels on the driver side, both are dented/lipped where I hit a pothole or something - can this be fixed? I'm not talking send them to the wheel doctor, I need my car and they're not causing any trouble like air leaking or anything, it's just now I know they're there.

The one on the front wheel is grand, only noticeable if you feel it with your fingers really. The back one came out of nowhere when I went to get a puncture repaired the guy said it to me. It's not wide enough to get a pinky finger in but you can see the colour/texture change in the wheel because of it.

I've heard of some place called Cox's in Longford (Athlone Road) that can repair it but I can't find their number and since I work in Maynooth I'm almost never home in time to get out to them.

Pics please. Minor dents and kerbing can be easily fixed. Even DIY.

Collins engineering in Bray would fix them, but you are in Longford!

Thanks Bryn, I might be able to get out to Bray and leave the car with them. I can stay with a mate in Maynooth if that's the case

Has anyone actually used Collins? GF took a chip out of one of my alloys when the car was 1 1/2 hours old. I kept my cool admirably, but I wouldn't mind getting it sorted.

That is their website. I've had work done by them twice and can't fault them
