Hi hbomb,

If it is buckled you would be better off having a replacement alloy, rather than trying to repair as it may have structural weaknesses you cannot see.

It's bad enough having a gti with 17" wheels in the first place. The prospect of having to spend money to buy a new one is just  :sick:

Surely, this is a good time to get rid of those things - they were designed to look a bit naff in order that everyone would plump for the proper wheels.

If you do go for a replacement, surely there must be hundreds of 17" wheels littering alloy wheel shops up and down the land, as people trade up to the proper ones  :grin:

Theres some genuine 17" Monzas here :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140210333113&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004

If you're really serious about buying on e-bay you need to contact the seller and make sure they have your contact details (mobile number).  Tell them you are prepared to give them a buy it now price if they're interested.  Quite often someone will offer the seller a buy it now price and they accept, close the auction early, and you will miss out  :cry:
