Try yellow pages, plenty of guys that can refirb. alloys ... Don't think they'll have an issue with that, doesn't look too bad.

Just going by your username Im gathering you are in W'Ton, if so - try Smart Care in Tipton.
I always have my wheels done there, wouldnt go anywhere else.

Hope this helps

My wife does the same thing with her cars. She finds out how close she is parking to the curb by scraping her tires against it.

You might want to consider not fixing the rim. If you fix it, you will be likely fixing it again in the near future. Only look at the car from the other side.

Or a set of steelies!

Ebay may be a cheaper route chap.

I got mine done at Wicked Wheels in Basingstoke and they looked like new. But be warned, check the wheel nuts before you drive off. I didn't and after a couple of miles the front nearside wheel started knocking. I stopped pretty sharpish and the wheel had one bolt half on and the wheel was hanging out at an angle. It had skimmed the red paint off my Brembo's into the bargain!
