You trying to do the Initial D thing and use the gutter to go round the bend? hope you know what im talking bout.

Hopefully you get a new rim and tyre at a good price, good luck

They'll be able to fix that, place in Albion can do it. Cheaper than a new rim I think. I'd probably replace that tyre though, looks like a decent cut in the sidewall.

WTF i have the exact same sticker as you on my back window?! :shock:

and also my rear left wheel was murdered on the road too LOL.. (well.. just the tyre is mad owned)

and i also have the same model car as you! (2.5i)

ha ha thats kinda freaky tom... you can be my evil twin that i will blame everything on.. ha ha

just an update for you all anyway..ended up replacing the wheel.. i wont throw out the other one, but i will get it fixed and have a spare mag.... specially with the 3 -4 week turn around, and the fact that it is costing me near 300 anyway..

just a quick update for you all...

decided to go the "safer" option and just fork out for a new wheel.. i was getting mixed opinions of what to do and weather it was do able..

so i bit the bullet and forked out the mulah..

jarrod gave me the details of a mob down the goldy, that have quoted me a half decent price for repair, so i will go see them, and just have myself a 5th spare.

ol mate said he can do it in a day, which is better than the 4 week turn around time told by others.. so i will take it down to him, catch up with some mates, and pick it up later on.. ha ha

and just leave it covered up in the boot, for when i need it..

turns out, that the front wheel copped some damge too, not as severe, but bad enough... its still ok, just a few deep scrathes.. and a very very very slight ding...

all in all.... all is good :)
