Default Need to replace a wheel

Like the rest of you that drive in the UK I've found it harder and harder to avoid the blinking potholes peppering every single road. A few of these have managed to do my wheels a miss-service with all bent to a greater or lesser extent and one completely knackered.

Has anyone had any experience of balancing out buckled wheels? - how did it turn out?

One the knackered one the main stealer has quoted my something like £450 + something silly like an hours labour just to swap the tyre over and VAT and blar blar blar making the total bill something totally ridiculous.

A quick online search suggests you can get 2007 spec 18" M sport wheels for about £350 each. Anyone got any recommendations or general advice (I'm in the London area)

Cheers

I had a couple of wheels straightened and welded by a top class guy in york i think hes called Ian Jemison 01904 703863 he charged me £60 a wheel and they were spot on afterwards.
You will be able to courier them to him
