this guy did the amazing repair to one of my porsche D90's, mine were pretty fooked looking after a run in with a truck (just 1) to the extent i bought another rim, but sent the damaged one to this guy, he checked the wheel, it wasnt buckled or anything luckily, one of the bonus of running a prorker rim he said was they are very strong.

anyhow this guy can work magic, worth a try - you can post your wheel to him, as i did but i drove over to collect, the rim i had done i told him not to repaint as i was sending all mine back to the place that did the paint work on them originally,  so i saw the repair he had done bare, it was flawless, and now its re painted you just cannot tell, pics are in my dubrides thread here > http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=79957.520

Your wheel damage, is minor impact damage to the lip of the rim, ie cosmetic damage only... OPs wheel has suffered prolonged metal fatigue, which is an entirely different issue, and has far more serious safety implications...

Yeah true but did you not bother to read the description on work he can do on his home page ?

Worth a call IMO

[Thom89]

Yes, I did bother to read...
Out of the other guys that I know that refurbish wheels, most are reluctant to repair tired fatigued wheels,  for safety's sake.
The OP now has different info from all viewpoints, and it should now be up to him alone, to make an important safety call, repair, or scrap...
