442m orbit grey replacement wheel

Stefantomas · 07-18-2015, 04:53 AM

I have taken a chunk out of my two tone wheel! Although it can be repaired they all need it for 3 days minimum. Anyone know how much a replacement would be? Could then get it fixed and sell it. Can't be without a car for three days!

How much of a chunk?

Sorry pic attached. Not that bad I hope, took a chunk out the tyre too

I'm more worried about the tyre.

I could repair the wheel by hand given three hours and a steady hand. You'd need to be a couple of foot away to see the repair.

Depends on how comfortable you are with one of the diy kits.

Think I'd be more concerned about the tyre which i'm sure is fine but get it checked. I'd be tempted to flat the alloy down with fine wet n dry and touch in with laquer before a good polish with fine paste.
Edit, as Nick said, posts crossed.

Got the tyre checked out all good. Just need to get the wheel fixed or go down the replacement route and sell the other once fixed

Yea tyre looks fine, it's just the rim protection band that's damaged.

If i were you i'd do a self repair on it as suggested above for now, you're bound to do some more damage to it at some point so you'd be gutted if you've paid for a new wheel!

Also if you get the usual corrosion around the centre then you can get a new wheel under warranty!
