They never seem to have enough parking at the Bletchley or MK sites, been there several times.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get the wheel repaired, are there any good places round Milton Keynes which people have used

When I badly kerbed my wheel a few months ago, I bought a replacement wheel (5 Star Bullet) from the dealers for £140 + VAT and had the tyre changed from the damaged wheel. I now have the damaged wheel and if and when I kerb another, I can get the other one repaired.

I've got four in perfect condition and would be happy to mail you one, but I think the postage would cost more than if you just bought a new rim.
