    a while back i went through a pothole

    anyways my dad brought my wheel to get " rounded " i dont know the propper term

    once i got it back i notised what i thought was a ripple on the alloy as it was crome and was told before that crome is basicly just paint i thought after heating the alloy the crome must of become loose

    well as it turned out the ripple turned out to be a hole . less then a millimeter just big enough to let the air out this only happened 5 days after getting fixed .

    anyways now ive to get the wheel fixed again if i can if i cant . well then im looking for a wolf race maxtrix shaddow crome 17"

    is there anywhere that can look at the wheel and tell me if i can fix it or would it be better to at this stage just get a new wheel ? if thats the case ill need help finding one as everywhere ive tried no longer sells that wheel or cant get it till after the new year .

    i know its not that long to wait but id like to get it sorted asap .

    also trying to keep the cost low as im looking to invest in a jap import shortly

    theres a place up north that sells alloys at decent prices but i cant remember the name. a guy i know got a set of wolfrace shadow crome whells and 4 packs of crome lock nuts for next to nothing because 2 of the 4 wheels had small amount of chrome chipped off.
    Itd be worth trying to find out who they are if your looking to get a new car soon anyway.
