Tyre was still inflated, and it's not buckled, tried it on the balancer at work.
If we reckon it'd repair, who does it?

That be proper that!!

Try an alloy welder* John, should be able to fix that up with TIG in seconds IMO.

*Not alloy as in alloy wheel, but alloy as in aluminium & the like.

For what it would cost to repair it would be easier/cheaper to get another RFX

Dave, I've tried most places that i knew of, the chances of finding one in that design, with the same offset as mine are going to be very very slim. :(

Lol at you Adam!

John,

Look up Ian jameson engineering at york, He repairs wheels like that properly and used to do so for the subaru wrc team iirc. He's also done jobs for my work before. And he also powdercoats too. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Try these below, they manufacture wheels and refurb and only in Telford so not a million miles away.

Dave they're 5 & 1/2 inch wide by 14", et 49. I'll be happy if i can get somewhere near though. ie 6" or a near offset. As long as the spoke/wheel shape is the same. If you don't mind Dave, keeping an eye out, i'd be most grateful if you do ever spot one!

Thanks Nick and Martin, Mucho helpfull :) + rep for you all!
