    Anybody know where I can get some alloys refurbished and what they'd cost per wheel ?

    There is a ding in two of my wheels and I'd rather they were not there.
    I presume there the cause of a vibration I am getting above 100 too.

    The dings might mean a buckle me thinks.

    Thanks
    Rob

    I'm also looking for this, in Dublin. I've found this place in Tipp, if it's any use to you. Too far for me.

    Cheers Anan1

    I found them too, and thought the same but seemingly they do a pickup and return service !

    Local Fast Fit gave me this number - 2827001
    A crowd in bray called Collins Engineering.

    I will ring both today and get quotes.
    Will let you know.

    I rang Collins in Bray.

    €80 per wheel and may do a deal if theres more than one.

    Considering advanced try to charge me €10 per wheel to check the balance yesterday tis not too bad!

    Aluweld in blackhorse won;t give a quote without havin a look.

    Daltons in cahir dont answer the phone !

    I got a few buckles out of a few alloys a while back by a place next to Croke Park called Phoenix Tyres. €50/wheel. Excellent work. Came recommended by Gerry Campbell (TI Autos) and now by me

    I got my wheel fixed a while ago by a guy between finglas and cabra ( i think!)
    Was just near the Railway crossing
    Was Campbells Garage 01-8304694

    I had 3 dings in 1 wheel (fecking Potholes!)
    It cost €70 and top notch service
    prob cost less if only 1 dent in the wheel

    I dropped the wheel in @ lunch and it was ready next morning

    Good Deal

    There's a place in Ardee (prob too far away from you) and they charge €40 to push dents out of the rim, and if the wheel needs to be welded and sprayed it costs €80. If the dents are bad the paint can come off and the wheel can crack when the machine forces them out, so then you would require an €80 refurb.

    Like new when finished.
