I was driving down a road this moring early hours, There wasnt any signs for speed bumps, and then out of the blue, there was a massive one! So i tried to brake, but in the process my front wheels locked and i skidded and curbed (chunked) my front wheel and the rear, damage on front passenger and rear. Now the wheels are like 18-20 years old, i need someone that can refurbish them for cheap Is there anyone that you guys can recommend that can help me out please PIc of what the wheels are like , ive damaged the outter lip!

You should be OK, alloy wheels are pretty tough old things. looks like yours just needs blasted and repainted. Is it bent or cracked at all? It looks OK in the pic. PS I have made you a new sig pic, you don't have to use it if you don't want like.

A good set of second hand ones might cost the same. What is it, a Capri?

LOL Mr B, that made me spill my coffee so now it looks like i have P$££3D myself.
Are they really that rare, there is a Custom (Barry Really) Center near me and the two guys who must work there both own Polo's like yours and have those wheels. Ok thats only 3 people.
I would say the Yellow Pages, and well just go to some of the places, to see what they look like.

I'd just rather take them to a proper wheel refurbisher, i.e. one that is highly recommended Thats all. Ive learnt the hard way in the past when I wanted some rims doing and a local guy out of the yellow pages did them and did a very poor job, so I'm very wary and scared of just anyone doing them. Regarding the rareness, i got them from germany and took a while to find. Id still say they are very rare, even if there are only 3 sets of these wheels in the entire country. Its hard to describe what they exactly are, no one has really heard of RG11's, so it's easy to mistake for the 108PCD Ford wheels. These are 100PCD, so definately not from a Ford, so they cant just be picked up anywhere you see to find a replacement. I didn't particular appreciate that 'big head' pics you made, I think it was out of order but I'll take it with a pinch of salt. I'm sorry I snapped a little, they get mistaken for common Ford wheels all the time and I have to constantly explain that they are not. I love my wheels alot, they took me a long long time to find to the right ones so when people don't look closely enough at them and mistake them for Ford items, i get a little tetchy. I'm sorry. Stuble is the way forward!

That looks like a fairly straightforward repair to me. Why not have them mirror polished while you're at it?

Sorry to hear that, it's always a shame when you damage your motor, I know what you mean, still it's not too bad. Not sure who you'd contact for the repairs though, sorry.

At least you are ok, the wheels don't look too bad, I've heard the guy in Sandy is pretty good, but I've never dealt with him myself.
At the end of the day, metal can be fixed, so don't worry

Aye, doesn't look too bad, only seems to be a light brush on the outer edge, that should skim out just fine. You're very fortunate that the rim hasn't been dented, I fappin' well hate speed bumps, not fun in anything lowered! All the best chick, hope the repair/refurb goes well!
