Can anyone recommend an alloy repair company in the Midlands area. Only had IS200 Sport Astral Black for two weeks and have caught a rim on a drop kerb. Not very happy !!.

dunno about the midlands but I got the ones on my Cavalier done at Elite Wheels/Tyres in Reading. They did a good job. I think they just send them away though. Perhaps you could give them a ring and see where they send them - 0118 950 4100.

I have a second spare 17" with new dunlop sps9000.I know a excellent place here in devon they did my calipers red. They specialise in wheels though £25+vat. If you get stuck send it to me without tyre on and I will get it done for you if you want.

I have my wheel repaired, my local dealer put me in touch with "ChipMaster". Repair done for £15, can't tell where the damage was. You can contact them on - 07812 729986.

P.S. Thanks for the replies to my problem.:tumble:

Hey morph,

If you are ever in the area Exeter mail me you can take the car for a spin, see what the compressor is like.

They will travel to your home or place of work etc.

did you goto them or did they come to you?

They were doing a job on a car at my dealers, so I just took my car down to them and they did the repair whilst I waited. It only took about 20 minutes.

Its interesting that someone is asking for alloy wheel repairers in the Midlands.
As I came out of Birmingham airport last week I ran over a cone fixer which had been left in the road and buckled the wheel on my GS300 Sport. I live in the Sheffiels area, so if anyone knows of someone in that area who can fix alloys I would appreciate the info.

Hi Linda... Welcome to the Club.. great to see another GS owner!

I will try and research this and post it for all too see... we get quite a few requests for wheels repairs!
