Alfie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Both my N/S Rays Alloys have Curb damage as you can see by both pics a very small section of outer edge has been chipped off and a larger section on the front. Can these be repaired or are they only fit for scrap? Cheers in advance for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 By the looks of the pictures a proper wheel refurbishment company should be able to sort those for you no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks Clark Motorsport, any ideas how much something like this would cost? the wheels don't seem buckled in anyway, are holding correct tyre pressure. just a shame there slightly damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 £50-£75 including powdercoating I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Will repair but remember the rims are forged and if they alloy weld them that weakens the rim. May also be some cracks from the impact. If you could get a cheap rim that would be a good option in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 These 2 may be potentially scrap? or would they be used as a pair of drifting wheels or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry mate just blown the pics up on my iPad and it looks like just small chunks out of each rim so should easily repair. If you end ip having a balance issue then you have an issue otherwise they should be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Try Pristine Wheels, we have used them in the past with good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks BulletMagnet, impresive profile pic by the way If you are near Huntingdon, give Keith at Wheel Genie a call, very good at what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Don't see any reason why you cannot repair those, as long as they are not cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks guys, was starting to think I would have to buy another two rays for a minute ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djuzi Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Where abouts are you? I had my original rays for my 370 done and he's very good at what he does also mobile roughly 50 a wheel depending how bad the damage is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Im based down in Wales Djuzi but have decided to break the car now instead of Repairing so will be looking for another 350 or even 370 if i can over the next few months,So Fingers crossed all goes well otherwise my Rays will turn into flower pots, engine into a coffee table and so on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
