Default Buckled Alloy

Looks like i got a buckled wheel, can any thing be done? Normally i'd get it replaced but the wheels i have are no longer made

Thanks

Yes but it will never be "as good as". Recently had a refurb done and they found a minor ding. Its your personal choice at the end of the day but no doubt a doom merchant will say "NOOOOOOOOOOOO"

i think it depends where the wheel is buckled if it can be repaired or not. I buckled and cracked mine and it is fixed, and is perfect. Give one of the alloy wheel refurb guys a call and im sure they will point you in the right direction

Unfortunately for me not only is it bent but the thing has split nearly all the way down the middle. I didn't even hit it that hard! The guy reckons something to do with the heat we've had and me hitting it in the evening????

Anyway 4 new rims

What sort of alloy is it? There may be someone with some spares in their garage.

It's a Team Dynamics don't know the actual name, but it has 10 spokes and looks a bit like their Monza R.
