I noticed when changing my tyres that my near side rear alloy was dented in three places on the inner rim (see my artist impression). Possibly caused by potholes!
Lucky I local company was recommended and did the job for a bargain £20, good as new!
Lets hope this will be the last repair for a while.

repaired alloy wheels... hmmmmm

the damage that is repaired may not be the only damage. The shock waves of the original collision may have caused weaknesses elsewhere in the wheel. If it was a small scuff then cool, otherwise, be careful.

Cheers,
K.

I will be keeping an eye on it, the guy at the place who sorted it comented on how soft the alloy was.
