********!

It was all going so well... And then I hit a pothole at the edge of the road.

Thought it was the tyre, but that looked in tact. Felt round the rim and sure enough it's bent out by at least 1cm over a 3-4cm length I think. Tyre therefore holding no pressure (despite being full of gunk).

Anyone know of a source for these? eBay is showing one in Poland... Maserati want over £700 for one. Then I'll likely need a tyre, geo and new tyre gunk/kit. Won't be much change out of £1,500 I suspect.

Did I say ********!

Sorry to hear that I have a full set of Astro wheels presently off the car (although mine are grey not black), is it repairable - I can recomended a good wheel place called near me in Essex used on my BMW wheels but they've done local Masser and Ferrari wheels very good standards

Yes get it repaired

You can repair really bad wheels, I'm sure it's repairable, cost is usually under £100

Mine are anthracite ;)

Recommendation would be handy. I just pinged a photo to a guy in Halstead.

Have also dropped the eBay chap a mail, but suspect that might end up with 300 quid in vodka :)
