Default Wheel Refurb in Warrington Area

My missus has had to "swurve" to avoid a car in her works car park and hit a bloody kerb. Anyone recommend somewhare local to Warrington to get the repair done ?

If not, can you buy one wheel - Innovite Redline 18" in Gun Metal ?

Any help appreciated.

Why is it women swurve into kerbs to avoid accidents. Its the same bloody story all the time
Not trying to be sexist, but two my mates also have partners who keep having to swurve to avoid other objects leaving at least one wheel with a silver rim.
Statistically, they are safer drivers. Tell that to the kerbs of this world

But once a wheel is kerbed baldly, can you actually get it back to a new like state given a hunk on metal is missing?

a Picture demonstrating before and after would be useful for people to compare.

cheers

Wolud you like a full set up with specia lights and the different stages of the refurb shown with descriptions, i,ll tell you what i'll get to work on a script now ok

LOL

The wheel isn't as bad as I thought, although I'm sill sulking at her

I am off to Le Mans in June and have a dint with cracked paint on the bonnet to sort from the wheelybin trying to fly and now this before I go, let alone the bloody 50k service.

I have been using her car as I travel more than her to keep costs down, but my mathemtics are incorrect when you take repair bills into consideration
