Recently bent one of my alloys, so looking for just one in good condition..... spec is :-
17" x 7 Technomagnesio Indianapolis in Anthracite



I know this belongs in "Wanted" but its been in all weekend and no response.

Cash waiting

Cheers Mixit

How bent is it? Will it not repair?

mixit

Pretty bad I'm afraid Brun. Have had it looked at & to be honest, I wouldn't want to drive on it again, even if it could be repaired


As you can see, it has a pretty bad crack in it...... ouch!


I hit a big log / branch, which lay in wait for me the other night

Have you had your suspension checked too ?

Unfortunately, there's no way that's repairable, the split wouldn't be a problem, but you'll never get it true again after the welding

It's a long shot, but try Grade A Subaru breakers in Hayfield, they have an e-mail address, so if you give them a ring on 01663 744114, you may be able mail them the above photos.

They may be able to help, as long as its no buckled..

Yep, been to Donalds at Peterborough. Had it checked. Needs a 4 wheel alignment doing and a geometry check. It was a hefty bang and now the off side wheel is 7mm closer to its wheel arch than the near side wheel is to its wheel arch :-( Could have been much worse though ...

You must have gone down one big pot hole to do that

It looks awful, but what the hey, at least you're OK, and the Scoob didn't go out of control, and wasn't written off--and by the looks of that, it could have.

Tony, you don't need that big a bang with a subaru, as my missus found out with mine, apparently the daft offset leaves the inside of the rim very vulnerable to potholes, and the extra leverage this provides on the 7" wide rim makes it easier for a small impact to cause more damage to the arms etc.
