Title: Can my buckled alloys be fixed?
Post by: shaunmk2gti on 25 April 2010, 21:43
I bought my golf last week with the wheels already on it looks like someone has hit a kerb and now the rim of the wheel isn't perfectly round. Does anybody know if they can be fixed and anywhere near berkshire cheers.

Put them in the freezer and they'll pop right out....

Oh hang on, that was BMX rims.

I have a set of OEM G3 GTI 16V 5-spoke rims you can have for cheap.

They tend to crack when you try and straighten them.

Rumour was that you also stick the rims from ACS Z-Wheels in the freezer as well but from experience this was actually bolloxs!
