Alloy wheel repair - Cork

    So, I managed to clip a kerb last week and want to get one of the wheels fixed up. Nothing major - not bent/buckled or anything - was only pulling out of a parking spot, but thankfully was the same wheel I clipped last year so 2 areas need fixing on the same wheel. I've attached a couple of pics....

    Any suggestions for a place in Cork to fix it up - preferably a 'while you wait' job as I have no spare.

    Cheers,
    PB

    From what I hear Leo Whelan is the best around. Haven't used him yet and not sure if it's a while u wait job. Google him.

    Leo Whelan will sort that out for you. It won't be a while you wait job though, you'll need to get a spare.

    That'll clean up fine I'd imagine. Needs tyre removed etc. Whole wheel will need paint. Not a quick job. Budget c.€100

    Thanks for the responses folks - looks like an overwhelming thumbs up for Leo Whelan. Googled a few other forums and his name comes up top also so will call him and see what he can do for me.

    Appreciate it....

    Cheers.

    Yeah Bobbyy_gee, I know what you mean...I've lived with the initial scrape for a year or so but every time I wash the car my heart drops and it's like everything else is perfect apart from that wheel. And now I messed it up even more - maybe I'm too emotionally attached to my car LOL!
