Howard1778 0 Posted October 20, 2007 I've just got my VR6 looking superb after a respray and I've only gone and driven into a kerb putting a big dent in ome of my wheels. It's an Integral A2, does anyone know if they are made anymore or where I can get hold of one? I've looked on a few websites that claim even bent alloys can be repaired, looking at my pic does does anyone think it can be repaired? ThanksIMG_0377.jpg[/attachment:5956d] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shawshankkid 1 Posted October 20, 2007 Wow howard thats a dent....i bet you need your alignment looking at now :( ....i needed a new subframe when i did the same earlier this year. good luck with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted October 20, 2007 that looks like it was done with some force! there are a couple of places that rekon they can fix any wheel, perhaps cosmetically but i somehow doubt they can fix them to the original standard and them keep the structure like a brand new one would, i somehow dont think they would be able to do that wheel but if they can then they must have some skills really! if you can find another one or even if you do give it to them and ask them to prove themselves to you by doing it on the cheap, if they can then they are getting themselves mint advertising and your getting a fixed wheel :) Good luck with it either way mate!

Howard1778 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Must admit I was surprised to find the wheel in one piece due to the terrific bang it made. Been to one garage and they reckon the wheel might be ok to repair but should find out for sure on Monday. I'm considering putting the original 15" wheels back but that would require the cost of 4 new tyres. Suspension looks very dodgy as well as the wheel arch above the front offisde wheel is visibly lower. I've learnt a valuable lesson and that is to concentrate driving home at 3am after a 12 hour shift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul20v 0 Posted October 21, 2007 i would not even attempt to repair that wheel alloy is a funny material , thats a really extreme dent how much is your life worth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shawshankkid 1 Posted October 21, 2007 Got to say i agree with paul20v that wheel is kippered howard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard1778 0 Posted October 21, 2007 I think a damaged wheel is the least of my problems.....had a closer look and the front offisde wheel is bent inwards and upwards which can't be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard1778 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Good as new!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted October 30, 2007 if thats a repair then WOW! does the wheel balance up alright and look/feel alright or have you done it on the sly and bought a new rim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 30, 2007 Got to be a new one! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard1778 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Honestly it isn't but I'm surprised myself. Cost £90 for the repair then £50 to have it resprayed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
