Alloy issue
« on: May 29, 2015, 01:17:41 pm »
Hi everyone,

I've had a droning noise so I looked on here and thought of the bearing and shock absorber. I got it checked out and it turns out the alloy isn't round :sad1:

Does anyone know where to get a single alloy apart from on the forums or eBay for a decent price.

You can get out of shape wheels professionally repaired, what area are you in?

Check out http://www.partshark.co.uk/used-car-parts-breaking-vehicles/volkswagen/golf/mk5/#parts

Picked a new alloy up myself for £40 off Motorhog via partshark, just try and get them to make sure it has the BBS stamp on the inside.

Alloyweld Craft in High Wycombe can straighten or repair damaged wheels. Had my Merc wheel straightened and it came out perfect.
