    If you're willing to go as far as Swords there's a place called Trimtech in Airside. My daughter had work done by them and was very pleased.

    You could also try Moto Engineering http://www.motoengineering.com/ He has done some work for me before and is a top rate welder and knows his stuff. Although it can be done I don't think I would risk having the wheel welded if it was to be done 100% part of the wheel would have to be sent away to get analysed and then have welding rods made up of the same compound costing a fair few quid. It's fair enough if you are using the car for yourself but if you are carrying passengers or you sold the car on and the wheel failed it could be a hard thing to live with. Just my two cents worth:)

    Not used these but always see them get a good mention on motoring forums.

    I'm not sure posters in this forum would know, you should ask in the DIY Car Maintenance and Repair forum because someone in there is bound to be able to advise you:
