Hi all,
This is my first post so forgive me if I breach protocols! I have searched but found no answer to my question which does surprise me as I imagine I'm not the first to suffer this.
I was recently 'run' off the road by Mr 'red van man' having been faced with the option of standing my ground and getting side swiped by said van or take evasive action and go for the kerb. I went for option two and now have a 19" Y spoke alloy with several minor chunks missing out of it and a few inches of scuffing on the rim
.
Cosmetically it doesn't look too bad but I'm concerned that with winter coming and salted roads that corrosion may creep under the now breached protective lacquer and make the situation worse. Plus any imperfection on such a beautiful car should not be tolerated!
I was recommended a company called Wicked Wheels who come to your home/place of work and do a mobile repair. I have read mixed reports on the web and was wondering if anyone here has used them and can make comment. Alternatively if anyone has used a different company I would be interested to hear your experiences. The advantage to a mobile repair is the car stays on the road as a repair takes approx 2 hours/wheel. Many companies require you to ship the wheel away which I would find very inconvenient.
Thanks in advance and for this great forum.
