Morning,
Would this be an easy fix or is it goosed? The tyre is still inflated.

My wife mounted a kerb to avoid someone and did the same (but far worse) to one of her wheels. I told her it was pointless trying to have it fixed but she asked anyway. The company ( wheel wizard in Surrey)charged her about £80 and you honestly can't even see where the damage was. I was amazed.

That can be welded, but I'd check the cost for a spare on eBay first. It's often cheaper.

Had a local deal on groupon round our way recently (derby), was very cheap as I recall. Might be with a search round on tinterweb.

The picture above is from a rim on eBay. I've managed to flat spot one of the alloys on my car so looking for a replacement, just wondered if its worth buying and repairing
