Hell, i've kerbed on of my S spoke alloys and need to get a new one.
Once i have obtained one, do any of you knowledgeable souls, know anyone in the Birmingham (uk) area who can fit the tyre to the new alloy without marking the new alloy in any way?
Thanks,
Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

My advice would be to get the Alloy fixed. Your dealership should be able to recommend a local firm.

A company called Lap-tab is based in Birmingham, not actually used them myself, but have heard a lot of good stuff about them.

Yeah usually around the £50 mark for a refurb. Cheaper than a new wheel
