really for ali? I chucked about 600kgs away not long ago from the secrete stash at work as the scrap men would only give us 10p a kilo.

yes mate get expert advice on repairing  it and for what u paid wouldnt be worth sending back probaly make more selling the other 3 as seperate wheels for spares to people who have them anyway :smiley: if u cant repair that is

How much do you reckon they're worth as singles?
